Free lunches available at various locations for Birmingham students, April 8-9
Birmingham, Alabama (April 7, 2020) – The City of Birmingham, Birmingham City Schools, the Birmingham ED Foundation, BhamStrong and other generous donors have made it possible for Birmingham City Schools students to pick up free lunches at 17 city rec centers, refrigerated trucks and other locations, April 8-9. Students, up to 18 years old, may pick up lunches in front of the rec centers and then depart. Families and students are encouraged to practice social distancing while picking up lunches.
Times vary for certain locations, so families should check the schedule. Because the City of Birmingham and its rec centers will be closed on April 10 for Good Friday, students may pick up two lunches on Thursday, April 9.
Mayor Randall L. Woodfin and Birmingham Park and Rec Director Shonae Eddins said this is part of an ongoing effort to ensure students receive healthy meals during the COVID-19 crisis this week.
