Im getting the vibe that things aren't being publicized on purpose. Maybe due to quantity..?

The quantities have become less commensurate to all the demand because now that schools closed there are less options.

I understand why a school would cater to their clientele as priority but it is so frustrating to people Like me whose schools do not distribute.

I def agree that it would be nice considering that its all our tax dollars and we all need to put food on the table...

2 questions:
1. What time did you go? I noticed they didn’t ask if you had signed up, so maybe they ran out. (I was there at about 5:15, got at 5:40)
2. I know this is going to sound funny, but are you sure you went to the right place? There were 4 or 5 schools giving within a block or 2. I almost got in the wrong line.
