Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission (Fresno EOC) announced Wednesday that free meals will be provided to children ages 1-18 over the upcoming winter break.
According to Fresno EOC, several locations throughout both the City of Fresno and Fresno County will offer free meals to kiddos starting December 19 through January 2. No meals, however, will be provided on both December 26 and January 2.
“We saw a need and launched the mobile winter meals program in 2019,” said Fresno EOC Food Services Director, Jon Escobar. “Last year, we served 1,355 meals to kids during the three-week period. We want to make sure they continue to get fed when schools are closed.”
Fresno EOC says colorful buses will deliver free meals to several locations and folks will have to eat the meals on the bus.
