Community Lunch

On the Vineyard, every student receives free breakfasts and lunches at school thanks to the Massachusetts Universal Free School Meals program.  When school is out of session, kids lose access to this food, putting additional strain on families struggling to make ends meet and jeopardizing family food security.

IGI is proud to have stepped in to bridge this nutrition gap during school vacations since 2017.  We now make approximately 15,000 meals and meal kits for families out of our commercial kitchen at the Airport Business Park each year, during February and April school vacation weeks and during summer break.  We provide lunches directly to families and to summer programs including the English Language Learner summer program, the ESY summer program, the Family Center, and the Y.

We utilize locally and regionally sourced ingredients in our meals whenever possible, and offer a range of items to meet the needs of all island kids, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and alpha gal-friendly offerings.

IGI is offering free lunches to support Island families during February break.

Families can pre-order customized meal kits—a week’s worth of lunches for each child—through an online order form.
