Latest revision as of 14:22, 4 August 2020

Due to the pandemic, schools across the nation are closed and districts are providing grab and go free meals to families in need. You can download the free Range app to find these meal sites as information is provided by the USDA.

For those sites not yet listed by the USDA, our team at Caravan Studios is compiling local school meal site information as it becomes available. We welcome your input if you are aware of sites that are not yet listed, below. Please create an account and add sites directly to this page.

You can also find the local food bank in your area by going to the Feeding America Website.

The Pandemic-EBT program is meant for students k-12 who have lost access to meals through the Free and Reduced Lunch program. Families will receive a specific amount, which varies by state, per child to compensate for lost meals. Learn more at the USDA.
