The United States Department of Agriculture announced Tuesday it would extend universal free lunch through the 2021-2022 school year, in an effort to reach more of the estimated 12 million youths experiencing food insecurity.

In March, the USDA said these waivers, which made school meals more flexible to administer, would be extended only to Sept. 30, leaving schools and families uncertain about what next school year might look like.

Child nutrition program waivers, which aimed to cut through red tape to allow kids to eat free even outside normal meal times, were implemented at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, at a time when millions of families faced financial strain, hunger and hardship. The waivers allowed schools and community organizations to adapt programs to better meet the needs of children and families.

  1. >>> Yippee. Hurray. I can’t wait to get, yet another case of potatoes and onions.

    Too bad you weren’t in Europe during the Holocaust. You would have learned to appreciate the nutritious food that Hashem provides for us.

    • The point is, onions & potatoes cost close to nothing. They are very cheap staple items. If you want to give a family charity in the form of food, give them something that cost a lot in the store, such as milk, eggs, bread, cottage cheese, string cheese, cream cheese, yogurts, fresh salad, orange juice, coffee, tea bags, etc etc… To give out huge boxes with cheap useless items that even an auni can afford, is a bizayon.

    • You shouldn’t sleep on a bed with a pillow and blanket either. They didn’t have that in the camps. You shouldn’t be wearing any shoes. You shouldn’t be flying to Orlando. Yoy shouldn’t be getting any vaccines. They didn’t have any if that in the camps. What an idiot to make the comparison. You’re a classic phoney.
