Head Start to distribute meals in response to COVID-19
The EBRP Head Start Program is launching a meal distribution initiative to provide breakfast and lunch to families starting March 23rd, operating from 10:00 a. m. to 1:00 p. m. This program is a critical response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has exacerbated food insecurity among local families.
By focusing on delivering nutritious meals to children, the initiative aims to support the health and well-being of the community. Families are encouraged to participate and receive these essential meals at specified locations, ensuring accessibility and adherence to safety protocols. The program signifies a collaborative effort to safeguard children’s nutrition during this unprecedented time. The initiative not only addresses immediate food needs but also reinforces the community's commitment to its most vulnerable populations. As families face economic hardships, programs like this are vital in helping them navigate these struggles.
Local leaders and organizations continue to explore ways to support residents during the pandemic, emphasizing the importance of community resilience.
