The Dallas Independent School District says they'll provide free "pop-up" breakfast and lunch service to all children ages 18 and under twice over the winter break.

The district's Food and Child Nutrition Services Department will twice offer two breakfasts and two lunches, first on Dec. 28 and again on Jan. 4, outside 11 campuses.

The meal will provide "an optimal blend of whole grains, lean proteins, and plenty of fruits and vegetables." Some meals may require cooking, see preparation instructions here.

If the weather is clear, a delivery truck will park at the main entrance to the campus and meals will be served from the truck. If it's rainy, the meals will be served at the school's front entrance. The meal service will be canceled if snow, sleet, or other dangerous conditions exist.
