HARRISBURG, Pa. — The Central Dauphin School District said Monday it will provide free grab-and-go breakfast and lunch meals to any children ages 18 and under who live in the district during the state-mandated closure of schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The program will begin March 17. Meals will be available every weekday between 8:30 and 11 a.m.
Breakfast and lunch will be given out at the same time, the district announced.
The child must be present to receive their meal, due to National School Lunch Program guidelines, the district said. Meals will be given on a first-come, first-served basis until supplies run out, according to the district. The supplies will be adjusted once the district can gauge the level of community participation in the program.
