We’re going to continue to provide support for residents and small businesses impacted by #COVID19. Today, I want to remind everyone of the free food resources we have available:
We currently have 58 active youth meal sites. These locations include 26 @BostonSchools “super-sites,” where you can pick up three days of meals in one trip for your child. We are working on making sure those sites can provide groceries as well as packaged meals.
Families of Boston school students are entitled to a “Pandemic EBT card”, issued by the state, for buying food and groceries. If you have used your card already, please hold onto it. We expect more funds will be added to these cards in the coming months.
We also have the Double Up Food Bucks program, which provides 50% off produce bought with SNAP benefits at local markets. https://www.boston.gov/departments/food-access/boston-double-food-bucks
For information on all the resources, as well as a map of meal sites, visit http://boston.gov/Food .
