The Lakewood Board of Education will cross the milestone of distributing 3,000,000 free meals to Lakewood children today, as tens of thousands of more free Gelbstein’s food boxes are being given out today.
The distribution will take place, as it does each week, at the Clifton Avenue Grade School and the Lakewood Middle School, from 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM. People arriving by car will begin receiving the boxes first at 3:30 while people arriving on foot will begin getting boxes at 4:00.
All children under the age of 18 are eligible for the 7-day meals, as long as they do not receive free lunch from their schools. All children are eligibile for the weekend boxes.
