Anyone know what time tiferes Bais Yaakov is giving the shavuos box?

I am by pine park now and there is a very long line. It might take 45 minutes for us to get the shavuos box.
They gave out lunch for 2 days yesterday so they will not be giving out lunch for today.
I think gelbsteins will be giving out lunch and a shavuos box tomorrow in all the gelbsteins locations. I’ve gone to the public school on somerset and the line was never long there.
TBY's Shavuos box contains cheese cake, cheese danishes, cheese chocolate swirls, cheese blintzes, shredded cheese, cantaloupe, mango, pineapple, heimesh challah, kugel, lettuce, dip, coleslaw, plus more. A gut yom tov!
I have no horse in this race but this made my eyes pop out. Isn't the government funding meant to provide a square meal? Where I live, there are requirements for these meals. I guess the random shredded cheese and lettuce among the junk food takes care of that?

I thought similar reading that too. The box I got is more well rounded than that. Eggplant, green beans, melon, cheese latkes, challah, cheese, jam, a kugel, and juice.
Also, I happened to be thinking that about the gelbsteins school district lunches. I wouldn’t call them healthy at all- junky starch and no vegetables. I was wondering if maybe I was confused about the purpose- maybe the food is to ensure kids are not hungry, versus actual nutrition.
ETA that I heard that most boxes with extra treats did have all the healthy things meeting requirements as well and received the treats at generous discounts by vendors for people to have nice things lekovod yt. I think that is beautiful!

My sil tells me in Baltimore they get great food. Both A milk and meat shavous box.
Here daily we get snacks. Like my kids get string cheese or American cheese . So shredded cheese I guess is that. Like I think egg rolls need the cheese to make it a balanced meal.
Every day we get for breakfast and lunch milk, fruit, veg, bread or cereal, main, protein, snack
The mainmeals I got in my box from Orchos chaim:
Cheese blintzes
Egg rolls
Noodle kugel
Pancakes
I was shocked reading that too. The box I got is more well rounded than that. Eggplant, green beans, melon, cheese latkes, challah, cheese, jam, a kugel, and juice.
Honestly I wouldn’t have wanted all the junk food so glad I got my box where I did.

I'm getting Gelbstein's and it seems healthy to me. We get a fruit or a vegetable at every pick up, cereal in a box, and milk and juice. Plus a lunch. Whole wheat rolls and tuna yesterday.
Yes, there is cheese cake, cinnamon buns, cheese blintzes, cheese latkes, Chocolate chip muffins... even cappuccino and chocolate milk!
Truly gourmet!
This is in honor of shavuos..
There was a variety of healthy food as well-
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
A bag of bodek salad mix
Milk
Chick peas
Baby corn
Grape juice
Cantaloupe

Hmm so maybe I didn't receive the full package each time! I guess possible because I didn't go very many times. Or maybe I was there at the wrong time?
But never a vegetable and only once cereal.

When I get from them it’s like baby carrots or a diff veg like pickles.
My kids schools give veg every day - baby carrots, cucumbers, pickles, cherry tomatoes.
But baby carrot carrots is the popular.
ANd fruit like apple or orange or both.
