The meals will be provided to residents who are not already receiving SNAP benefits or other government assistance, including seniors, 'homebound adults,' those with special needs, the homeless, and families with minor children.
Earlier this week, the mayor of New Orleans announced that the city would be receiving $18 million in assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency , funds that will be used to distribute meals to more than 30,000 of the city's most vulnerable residents.
"This is a highly complex situation where we have economic devastation amid public health devastation,” Ramsey Green, the city’s deputy chief administrative officer for infrastructure, said. “Food and feeding is not something that people should be worried about in a time like that.” As of this writing, restaurants in New Orleans have been allowed to return to dine-in service, although they are required to operate at or below 25 percent of capacity.
