Chicago schools to offer free food to families during closure

CHICAGO - Chicago families can still get food from Chicago public schools even while the schools are closed.

Beginning Tuesday, March 17, all CPS schools will offer free meals from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Families can pick up those meals at their nearest CPS school. They do not need to go to the school their children attend.

Each child will receive a food bag with three days of breakfasts and lunches.

Enrichment packets will also be available.
