This is very true in South Africa where millions of children get their main meal for the day at school.

Civil society had to go to court during lockdown to force the government to deliver the food!

A good number of children in the US also get their main meals at school. They quickly resumed serving them where I live even during lockdown.

One teacher in the UK actually delivered meals to kids personally during the lockdown.

Yeah, that's one that I forgot -- a lot of families are dependent on the free school lunch.

At least the school district in the suburb near Seattle that I live in has signs in front of the schools mentioning the lunch program is still providing food for such families and students in need.

School districts around Seattle often provide meal programs over the summer breaks too. Breakfast and Lunch.
