HOUSTON – Most of the Houston Independent School District’s 42 summer curbside meal sites will be temporarily closing Friday due to the increase of coronavirus cases in the Houston area, according to the school district. Only five sites that work in partnership with the Houston Food Bank will remain open.
Families who visit the 37 meal sites that will be closed starting Friday, can pick up six days’ worth of meals on Thursday, which is twice the normal amount of meals provided, officials said.
