Free food from the Ross family

Diana had heard about people on the island who didn’t have enough to eat after losing jobs and income during the COVID-19 pandemic. She knew of parents who were only eating dinner so their kids could have lunch and breakfast through the schools’ nine-day Family Food Box Vacation Support program. The program provided three meals a day for children, but only dinner for their parents.
