Group offers schoolkids free breakfasts, lunches

In light of Gov. Tom Wolf's order to close all K-12 schools in Pennsylvania for two weeks, The Nehemiah Project in Altoona will offer free take-out breakfasts and lunches to school-age youth throughout Blair County during those 10 school days.

Wolf has closed the schools as a measure to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus.

The meals can be picked up at the former Wright Elementary School, 1809 11th St. The meals cannot be eaten at the former school.

Breakfast will be available on a first-come, first-served basis from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m., and lunch from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. March 16-20 and March 23-27.

For more information, call 201-2096 or message The Nehemiah Project on its Facebook page.
