Wednesday, they served 240 meals (60 bags with 2 breakfasts and 2 lunches in each), and on Friday, they distributed 120 meals (60 bags with a breakfast and a lunch in each). That makes a total of 504 meals served to our students and community this week! Our numbers were a bit off earlier in the week and those posts have been edited to reflect the correct information.
