Coronavirus Help for Virginia Kids: Food and Resources

We know that it’s hard out there. The coronavirus is spreading, businesses and schools are closing, and uncertainty is everywhere. Crises hit the most vulnerable in our society the hardest. Information is scattered, so we decided to put it all in one place to help parents all across the Commonwealth. 

School Food Programs*

Good news, everyone! As of March 25th, students in Virginia no longer have to be present in order to receive the meals they need to live from their schools. Parents may now pick up meals at their children’s schools without bringing their children with them. A big shoutout to all of the advocates who made this happen! Thank you for helping to keep Virginia families safe during this crisis.
