New York is doing something right. When the school year ends, The Department of Education is going to provide free breakfast and lunch to children ages 18 and under. Children will not have to register and they don’t have to show identification. The meals are free and will be available at 1,200 sites across the 5 boroughs of NY. I am so happy to hear this. Gone were the days when children who could not pay 75cents, were turned away from a meal.
