NYC Schools Now Offering Free Meals to All

NYC Schools are now offering free meals to all New Yorkers, not just children. The city schools have been offering free kids meals while school has been out for the past two weeks but Mayor de Blasio is now opening the service to all New Yorkers who need a meal.

 Any New Yorker who wants one can get three free meals a day at more than 400 Meal Hubs across the city.

  • Meals can be picked up at all Meal Hubs 7:30 am to 1:30 pm, Monday through Friday
  • Meals Hubs will operate for children and families from 7:30 am to 11:30 am, and for adults from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm
    • No one will be turned away at any time
    • All adults and children can pick up three meals at one time
    • Vegetarian and halal options available at all sites
  • No dining space is available, so meals must be eaten off premises
  • Parents and guardians may pick up meals for their children
  • No registration or ID required
