Free Lunches For Students Learning From Home

Our new norm continues to change as the number of COVID-19 cases continue to rise. It seems like everyday we're hearing about more schools switching to virtual learning. In addition to other issues this creates for working parents, lunch for students that normally eat at school is a huge issue or at least was an issue until now. In a press release the Boise School District said "It's expanding their curbside meals program to accommodate the District's move to 100% virtual learning. This program provides all children ages 1-18 with access to free meals." Meals can be picked up from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the following locations according to the Boise School district website:
