City announces free meals for any resident during coronavirus crisis
With nonessential businesses closed and hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers out of work due to the novel coronavirus crisis, the city’s Department of Education is making free meals available to anyone who needs them.
Three free “grab and go” meals a day can be picked up at more than 400 “Meal Hubs” across the city. Breakfasts include cereal, fruit, milk and juice. Lunches include sandwiches, vegetables like “carrot snackers,” hummus dip, fruit and daily specials. Mondays are meatless.
The meals had been available for any New York City public school student, but are now open to any New Yorker in need.
