Gloucester High’s Free Food Locker is now offering home delivery

In partnership with the Open Door, the Health Center’s grocery program has been extended to all students this year. Now it’s easier than ever to get staple goods for your family before holiday break. 

“Home delivery breaks down the barriers to using the Free Food Locker”, said Karen Hurst, who facilitates the program, “It’s been a huge success!” 

Thinking about taking advantage of this opportunity? Read on for all the information you’ll need.

How do I order?

The Health Center has a Google Form which you must fill out to utilize the Food Locker. It asks basic questions (name, cohort, etc) all of which are kept confidential. It also asks which food items you would like and the options change weekly. You can choose as many or as few items as you wish. You can find the form here. 

You can also drop into the Health Center to order food. 

How do I pick up/receive my order?

Orders placed before noon on the Google Form can be picked up the same day. In person students should pick up at the Health Center, room 1214. The Health Center is open Mondays through Thursdays from 8:00-2:30. Remote students can arrange for curbside pick up in the circle entrance by the baseball field. 

Students can also opt for contactless home delivery by emailing Karen Hurst at [email protected], calling 978-281-3901, or checking off the home delivery option on the Google Form.

What if I get to school and I’m ridiculously hungry and I just want a snack? 

The Health Center has you covered! With permission from your teacher, you can stop by anything to grab a juice box, granola bar, or other snack to get you through the day.
