Students in schools across the country can now depend on the government to provide all of their daily nutrition, with many adding dinner to “free” breakfast and lunch programs amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Duval County Public Schools in Florida “is now serving dinner to students at 71 participating schools, district spokesperson Laura Ricks announced in a news release Monday afternoon,” WJXT reports.

“Like breakfast and lunch, dinners may be picked up curbside at participating schools between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Students can collect meals at the school nearest them.”

It’s the same deal at Pflugerville Independent School District in Texas, among others.

Students there can pick up breakfast between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., Monday through Friday, while lunch and dinner pick-up runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., FOX 7 reports.

“I am just appreciative that people are accepting the help and taking advantage of this program because really our goal is to feed students and make sure they have a nutritious meal to enjoy at home,” Shelby Kelly, marketing manager for the district’s food vendor Aramark, told the news site. “Thank you’s are everything, our ladies are really putting themselves at the forefront so hearing that really makes it all worth it. It’s just a pleasure to be able to do this for our families.”

Kelly said Pflugerville handed out 15,000 meals last week. Local parent Angelica Martin told FOX 7 the free food has been great, especially since parents are now busy with work and kids at home.

“It’s great that the district is doing this for us. I know a lot of parents are working from home and may not have time to fix lunch and stuff for the kids. It’s been wonderful,” said Martin. “They’ve started their work this week and today has been really well, we are trying to stay on a schedule that Pflugerville has provided us.”

In New York City, students can go to any school to pick up all three “free” meals – breakfast, lunch and dinner – with no need to show identification or proof of eligibility.

SILive reports:

Beginning Monday, March 23, three meals a day — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — will be served to all New York City students at 439 hub sites citywide, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced in new guidance released Friday.

The “grab and go” meals are available for all students Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. No registration, identification, or documentation is required. All three daily meals can be picked up at the same time. Parents and guardians may also pick up meals for their children.

The city is also working with the company DoorDash to deliver meals to students who are unable to pick up the food in person, including those with medical issues and kids in the city’s homeless shelters.

Regardless, school food workers contend many of the meals have gone to waste because residents are adhering to social distancing recommendations.

According to The City:

Department of Education statistics obtained by THE CITY show that after an initial bump, demand has fallen precipitously. The program peaked at 199,483 meals distributed on March 19.

Then it dropped to 159,635 last Friday, before hitting a low of 81,050 on Monday, when it rained. The figure rose to 111,887 Tuesday and 115,865 on Wednesday.

That’s far below the nearly 600,000 meals distributed daily when schools are open.

City food service supervisors complained to union officials last week that “starting Friday or no later than Monday we are now going to feed any adult off the street.”

“This is insane,” one supervisor wrote in an email to Teamsters Local 237 President Gregory Floyd.

Workers are complaining the city hasn’t supplied any masks or protective equipment during the pandemic, and Floyd said at least one food service employee has already tested positive for the coronavirus.

“The mayor miscalculated in his thought process on keeping schools open because children would use the schools for lunch programs,” Floyd said. “The reality is, the children are not coming up in the numbers they thought they would.”

“People are staying home and social distancing,” he added. “Food is being wasted in the schools because they have to throw it away and rather than close the kitchen down as any prudent person would do. He’s now reverting to feeding adults.”
