Valparaiso Police Officers and City of Valparaiso employees are collaborating with Valparaiso Community Schools (VCS) to help deliver weekend meals to students in need. VCS Food Service Team has stepped up to offer daily and weekend meal options for Valparaiso kids, including the Backpacks & Snacks Program that distributes a full weekend's worth of shelf-stable food items. City employees are able to help deliver the weekend food bags to virtual learners who need assistance, as determined by school social workers. Chief Balon and Mayor Murphy teamed up to deliver meals in January.
