Meals for School Aged Children

We are sharing this information. This was in a message posted on www.Orangecountygov.com yesterday 03/13/2020 from Orange County Executive, Steve Neuhaus.

In light of the school closings, my office and staff are working with BOCES and our local schools in support of efforts to provide meals for school children who regularly receive school breakfasts and/or lunches. Whether you are part of a program or not, we do not want anyone to go hungry at any time, particularly as a result of the emergency school closures. Families in need of assistance can contact their schools or my office at 845-291-2700.
