D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray launched a program to provide food to families struggling in the wake of Friday’s storms.
Box lunches are available from the Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency on Tuesday until 9 p.m. The program may continue beyond Tuesday, but officials said for now they’re focusing on distributing food one day at a time.
Distribution sites are located at:
Guy Mason Recreation Center (3600 Calvert Street NW)
Emery Recreation Center (5801 Georgia Avenue NW)
Takoma Recreation Center (300 Van Buren Street NW)
Langdon Recreation Center (2901 20th Street NE)
Deanwood Recreation Center (1350 49th Street NW)
Southeast Tennis and Learning Center (701 Mississippi Avenue SE)
Food is also available for children under 18 years old as part of the annual Free Summer Meals Program.
The Office of the State Superintend of Education provides two meals a day to the District’s children throughout the summer. The program is intended to ensure children have food when they’re not in school.
A full listing of distribution centers is available at the OSSE website.
