The Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020 has affected families in varying ways; one of which is lunchtime. Many families rely on school to provide lunch, but Coronavirus school closures are making it difficult for some families to keep their kiddos fed. With kids being home all day (and their parents and siblings too) many restaurants have created special kids meal offers during the Coronavirus Pandemic. Many of these offers help all families needing a break for their budget or a break from the kitchen.
Kids Meal Offers During Coronavirus Quarantine
Please be sure to check the locations in your state. Each state has different “stay at home” orders in place. I believe a majority of the country is like Ohio, and restaurants are only offering carryout or delivery options; not dine-in. Also please watch for the expiration dates on these offers to possibly be extended as school closures are as well (Ohio remote learning is now extended until May 1)
