I'm surprised that the school is not giving out food for kids and families given that its technical a public school and they get tons of federal funding especially for food.

There seems to be a food pantry in KJ but call to see if they are open-- http://www.hudson211.org/zf/pr.....27840

Here is a list of food resources within Orange County, call them to see if they are available or know of other resources-- https://www.cenhud.com/globala.....e.pdf

If you can get to Rockland County then you can find Kosher food pantries here (although there are other non-Kosher pantries in Rockland that you can look into as well to get produce, eggs, or other items that are OU or dont need a hechsher-- http://www.rocklandhunger.org/.....ries/

Food pantries in Rockland County if you can get there-- https://www.needhelppayingbill......html

Also, if you lost your job you can apply for unemployment-- https://labor.ny.gov/ui/coronavirus-faq.shtm

It's very intresting that you are posting on imamother, out of all places in the world.

If you live in the 5 mile radius of KJ you know where to pick up food and where to call for resources.

I'm not sure I want to list things here because this post is very unusual.

Call your kids school administration for food.
You can ask your shul rav.

Who said she's posting for herself?
OP, most locales in the tri-state area have some sort of community organization to help families dealing with financial difficulties, and accessing social services as necessary. I don't know what it is called in KJ, but I'm sure a local, Jewish phone book would have that listing.
Most areas also have Tomchei Shabbos, which I assume would also be in the listing.
School lunches are a drop in the bucket, but they can also help. There may be nearby schools who offer pickups at certain days and hours, or there may be schools that drop off. See if you can contact the local schools and tap in on that.
Good Luck!

All 3 schools provide free food lunch pickups.

For financial assistance there's tzeduks hair.

There's an organization supplying shabbos peklech.

For govt assistance there are two social services that offer assistance applying for aid.

What are you looking for?
