With schools shutting down as part of the "social distancing" plan to contain the Coronavirus, many families are worried about how they will afford to feed their kids. Several Colorado school districts are (or plan to) offer free food for kids aged 1-18 during the shut down. We will be gathering information to list here as it becomes available.
PLEASE CHECK DISTRICT WEBSITES FOR CHANGES.
