BALTIMORE — Pallets stacked high with cardboard boxes filled with breakfast and lunch foods, as well as gallons of 1% milk, were set in front of Baltimore County’s Hereford High School at 8 a.m. Tuesday.
By 8:15 a.m., over 200 boxes were gone. By 8:30 a.m., that number had nearly doubled. Ultimately, that day, thousands of struggling families received thousands of meals, thanks to a new and fast-growing school district food distribution program.
Among those taking part were Santina Indusa and her niece, Latrease Brooks of Windsor Mill, who picked up meals for four children attending school in the district, aged 10, 14, 17 and 18.
“It’s summertime and whoo, things are getting difficult financially,” said Indusa of Glen Burnie. “And boys grow really quickly and eat a lot.”
