Vága municipality to become first to use Matvitan meal service

Vága municipality will be the first municipality to use the new Matvitan meal service, KVF reported. The scheme is expected to begin early next year and will initially run as a one-year pilot.

Matvitan, run by Poul Andrias Ziska and Joan Sørensen, will provide meals to the Miðgarður, Sóljugarður and Smílikullan institutions, as well as pupils at Giljanes School.

The scheme will be funded through parental payments and the municipality’s operating budget. Monthly fees will be 400 kroner for children below school age and 150 kroner for primary school pupils. Parents can decide whether their child takes part.

Vága municipality has allocated 1.4 million kroner to the project.
