Bel Air Elementary Added To Sites Giving 3 Meals A Day To Kids

HARFORD COUNTY, MD — Harford County Public Schools is offering free meals to children at 15 sites while schools are closed. One is in Bel Air.

Students in Harford County Public Schools and all children 2 to 18 are eligible and must be present to redeem the meal; parents cannot accept food on behalf of children. The meal program is open to all children, not just those who are enrolled in the Free and Reduced Meals program.

Food will be provided from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. weekdays during the state-mandated closure, unless specified. Meals at Bel Air Elementary School will only be available to 11 to 11:30 a.m. weekdays.

People are encouraged to bring a bag, as they will be receiving breakfast, lunch and dinner during the meal distribution times, and to refrigerate food once they return home.

Initially, 13 sites offered the free meals. On Tuesday, officials announced Bel Air and Dublin Elementary Schools had been added to the meal distribution site list.
