Northeast Wisconsin students K-12 free lunch resources

NORTHEAST WISCONSIN (NBC 26) -- Local stores and restaurants are helping their community by providing lunch to students in grades K-12 during the state-wide school shutdown caused by coronavirus concerns.

Many students K-12 rely on school to provide a lunch for them, but with school closed this causes an issue. Many local businesses have stepped in to help feed the students.

Here is an updating list of lunch options students have while schools are closed:

Appleton

Erbert & Gerbert's (College Ave. and Casaloma Dr.) are giving one free kids meal with a minimum $10 purchase from in-store customers, valid for one person per visit per day. They say this offer is good through April 6 while supplies last.

Beginning Tuesday, March 17, the Appleton Area School District will offer free meals to students in need while schools are closed. All meals will be served in 'grab and go' fashion and include lunch for the day and breakfast for the next day.
