Local Restaurants Committed to Feeding Children During Coronavirus School Closures

This morning, the honourable Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley’s addressed the nation in a news conference regarding further spread. Then, he announced new regulations: borders are closed to non-nationals for 14 days, bars must remain shut, gatherings of more than 25 are banned and all school’s out until April 30. Even though it’s in our best interests, that brought a sense of worry to some parents.

Experts agree that school closures will play a prominent role in limiting the transmission of coronavirus but that impacts communities and families that rely heavily on schools for services like free breakfast and lunch (aka a good ole box lunch). Times are financially hard for the entire world with this pandemic on the loose, but local restaurants are playing hero on our island ensuring that no child goes hungry.

Here are some free deals being offered to students right now while stocks last. (And we will keep updating with more as they pop up on our feeds.)

1. Rotisserie Kings

Ask for the special when you roll up to Rotisserie Kings. They’re offering one free meal and a Chubby for children. You can choose between a hotdog, grilled cheese sandwich or pancakes.

“UPDATE” With the amazing outpour of love and support towards the Kids and families that need us at this time, we have updated our menu options: Rotisserie Kings is offering free (one option per child) 1. Hotdog 🌭 2. Grilled cheese sandwich 🥪 3. Pancakes 🥞 All meals come with drink!!! Let’s all work together during this time!!! Starting Saturday 14th March 2020, we will be providing free meals to kids as we know the importance of having a meal. Most parents depend on Government Meals to feed their kids. We understand that most people live day to day or week to week pay cheques and it maybe difficult to buy in bulk as others have done. Also we are seeing the effects of businesses cutting working hours and decrease in sales, either shopping centers or events that may have taken place. We ask that you kindly share this message so it may reach those in most need!!! If any businesses would like to sponsor meals for kids we have meals starting at $25 Please share, send in WhatsApp groups, or any other means as we try to combat this worldwide problem!!! Please note 1 item per child and child must be present to receive!!! While stocks last!!! All meats Halal #hotdogs🌭 #free #feedthenation #letsdoourparttosavemothernature
