To ensure that students can still have nutritious meals while all schools are closed, the School District of Philadelphia, several charter schools, and the Philadelphia Housing Authority are coordinating with the City’s Office of Children and Families to provide grab-and-go meals for children and youth throughout the city.
Not a student? Philadelphia residents impacted by the COVID-19 crisis can pick up a free box of food for their household at several locations throughout the city. Learn more about food sites.
Where to find food and meals:

Families with children and youth can pick up meals at 80 locations listed below.
Meals are available from 9 a.m. to noon only. All children and youth are eligible, and no ID is required.
All schools within the School District of Philadelphia will be closed through at least April 6, 2020.
The District is coordinating with the City’s Office of Children and Families, Parks & Recreation, and many other departments and nonprofit partners to provide meal service and activities in safe spaces throughout the city.
District schools open Mondays and Thursdays, 9 a.m. – noon.
Families will receive eight meals per student—4 breakfasts and 4 lunches

The School District’s 49 student meal distribution sites will be closed on Monday, April 13. Meals will be available instead on Tuesday, April 14, from 9 a.m. – noon.
