STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. New York City is offering free grab-and-go meals for children and adults across the five boroughs this summer.<\/p>\n
The city Department of Education (DOE) is offering the free meals to students and adults at Meal Hubs from Monday through Friday. The sites will serve breakfast and lunch grab-and-go items from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.<\/p>\n
There will be no service on Monday, July 5 (Independence Day observed) and Tuesday, July 20 (Eid-ul-Adha).<\/p>\n
Take-home-and-cook options will also be available at the community hubs. DOE food distribution centers will have more information. The choice of items may vary according to location and availability.<\/p>\n
Those items may include: Baked ravioli, beef burgers, burritos (Southwest), buttermilk biscuits, buttermilk pancakes, chicken (oven roasted and sliders), fish patties, French fries, garlic toast, grilled cheese, Jamaican beef patties, mac and cheese, mozzarella sticks, omelet, pizza, stuffed shells, turkey (oven roasted and breakfast sausage patty) and waffles.<\/p>\n
The DOE has menus available for free breakfast and lunch meals. Breakfast meals include cereal, juice, milk, graham crackers and sun-butter cups. Lunch meals include assorted deli sandwiches or wraps with different proteins, vegetables, fruits and milk.<\/p>\n
All menus are subject to change. Menus are pork-free, and no fried food is offered or served in the meals. No artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners are used in any school meal.<\/p>\n
No registration, identification or documentation is required. No dining space is available, so meals must be eaten off-premises.<\/p>\n
Vegetarian and halal meals are available at all community meals sites, while Kosher certified meals are available at select locations. Kosher certified meals are available on Staten Island at CSI High School for international Studies, New Springville.
