Circa: again, children did not need to be present. We were given a choice of plain or choc milk and a foam (clamshell) container with a slice of pizza a small container of chickpeas and a small apple.

The scene was a bit crazy- lots of people with lots of kids all gathering around a table on the sidewalk. Hopefully, they’ll figure out a way to make it safer. Personally, I would suggest moving the table further out (even into a parking spot) and doing a (one-way) drive through.

Most people will agree that having the kids home will send our food bills soaring. For many the daily lunches will be a huge help. I'm in Brooklyn and all schools have lunch pick up. The biggest concern with closing schools was the food they may not get. No child should be hungry.

Which of the frum schools in Brooklyn? Do you need to be a student there or can I go to the one closest to me?

It’s the government sponsored lunches. If most of the school pays for lunch or kids bring their own then they won’t offer this

I was in BJBP today (to pick up dd's schoolwork) and definitely smelled fish sticks, not sure what else. I did see some parents go downstairs with their kid but my daughter wasn't interested.
