The deliveries are Monday through Friday for the week of Aug. 15 and Monday throughThursday for the week of Aug. 22. 

“Buses will load these food items at 10 a.m. at Belle Heth Elementary School and Radford High School and then deliver to the areas beginning at 10:30 a.m.,” the school’s announcement reads. “Please be at one of these stops no later than 10:30 a.m. if you would like to participate in this food delivery program.
