For some, no school means no lunch. Pronto!, the fresh pasta restaurant on The Corner, is offering free meals for all school-aged children. This is an extraordinary gesture at a time when COVID-19 is devastating restaurants’ revenues. A statement from Pronto! co-owner Daniel Kaufman:
Due to the local school closures, as well as our massive slowdown in business, we have decided to offer a free meal to any school-aged child needing one until further notice. We have food, they need food, it’s a no-brainer. Come on in anytime, no questions asked. Please note our hours may vary from those posted. Feel free to call ahead to ensure we are open. 434-202-7638.
