Free meals - WHY?

Do you know that Richland 2 School District is providing free meals to all students under 18 while schools are closed?

According to a message on the District's website,

"Children do not have to attend one of these schools to receive free meals. Pick-up at these sites is open to all children under the age of 18 living in Richland Two attendance zones regardless of the families' free/reduced-price meal status."

This is certainly a generous act of the School District, but I wonder when the School Board approved that. I don't recall ever hearing it mentioned at a school board meeting.

Why is the District spending money to feed children whose families have no financial need for such free food?
