There will be more drive-through lunches available today in Paso Robles at Flamson Middle School, Georgia Brown Elementary School, Winifred Pifer Elementary School, and Paso Robles High School.
In Atascadero, school food service staff provided free lunches at Atascadero Middle School, right by the Rotunda. They are also available at Atascadero High School, San Benito Elementary, Santa Margarita Elementary, Carissa Plains Elementary, San Gabriel Elementary, and Monterey Elementary.
