Coronavirus In Philadelphia: City Providing Meal Pickup Sites For Students During School Closures
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The School District of Philadelphia announced on Saturday plans to provide meal service and drop-in activity space for students over the next two weeks. This comes after all Pennsylvania state schools were ordered closed for two weeks due to coronavirus concerns.
From Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. through noon, any Philadelphia student can get up to two grab-and-go meals from 30 different schools across the city.
"We encourage any School District families interested in obtaining breakfast and lunch meals for their students to visit these meal distribution sites," said Superintendent Dr. William R. Hite. "We are eager to help support families during this difficult time and urge them to take advantage of the resources provided throughout the city."
While students are out of school, they can still find free meals and safe spaces near them. Find out more ⬇ #PHLed https://t.co/plx575bErk pic.twitter.com/rNg9e94vf6
