MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee are closed due to COVID-19, but they're still providing meals for kids ages 18 and under. 

But now, families will need to drive up and pick up the meals for the week at various club locations.

"We're doing everything that we can in order to get meals in the hands of our youth. We serve communities where a disproportionate of our families are facing economic challenges, social challenges that other families are not."

Meals will only be available for pickup this coming Wednesday, March 25. After that, they will only be available on Mondays.
