My district passed out a week’s worth yesterday. They will start again after spring break.
See this is exactly what I thought! Although the meals are technically available to everyone, I thought this was just for the sake of convenience and that they'd prefer that you not take the meals if you don't need them. But they really seem to be encouraging everyone to utilize the program, and like you said, the comments from many people here explains why that's probably the case.We happen to live within walking distance of one of the schools distributing food. We haven't gone, because my philosophy is that it's for people in need--we aren't. After seeing some of the viewpoints here--about keeping the programs running by taking the food, etc., I asked my DD16 if she'd be interested in trying some. She said, "No way! That's for kids who really need it! We have plenty of food!" I can't argue with that. But, I do hope there's enough interest/usage that they continue to offer the program.
