Community groups offer free lunch to kids

The partnership includes YMCA Honolulu, Parents and Children Together, Palama Settlement, Aloha Harvest, Kapiʻolani Community College, Hawaiʻi Appleseed Center for Law & Economic Justice and Hawaiʻi Child Nutrition Programs.

“On a typical school day, about 61,000 economically disadvantaged Hawaiʻi students benefit from free or reduced-price school meals,” a statement from Hawaiʻi Appleseed said. “For many, these are the only nutritious meals that they eat regularly.”

Dates of service at the above community sites may be extended “depending upon Department of Education announcement of further school closures and funding availability.”
