WOW people are still getting food boxes?
I read about them a lot on this site back at the beginning of covid, but didn't realize they're still being given out. That must be really nice! Have they been helpful and food you use?
(I live OOT, never got any boxes)

I edited the title. Didn't realize it depended on location. Baltimore.

Silver Spring’s last food boxes were given out last week (august 25th).
The funding is now going into the school lunch program, which we never had before. Details are still being worked out, so we are starting the school year without a lunch program, but it’ll happen at some point iyh.

For my family they actually have been really helpful. Especially with my chicken/meat, cheese and grape juice purchasing. And I haven't bought milk in months and months.
It's be so so nice to have it- though I know this is all of this "free" stuff is doing horrible things to our country financially.

There are 2 types of boxes. Some were for weekday meals instead of school lunches. That is no longer permissible to be done through boxes and instead will be free for everyone in the school.
The second type is to provide meals for weekends and that is being funded through the end of September. Some locations may find it hard to provide with YT the whole month but others are continuing through September.

Was amazing. Got lunch and supper. Cut down on my weekly bill a lot. There are certain foods I haven’t bought in along time.
Many oot places got. Lots of Florida cities received through the summmer.
The money paid by govt was also allowed to be invested in the school kitchens so many schools were able to upgrade their kitchens for school lunch programs.
