Pensacola area restaurants are stepping up left and right to provide free lunches to students who might otherwise go without for the foreseeable future. 

As most schools close until at least the end of March in response to the coronavirus pandemic, locally owned restaurants are doing their best to take some of the burden from parents who may not have contingency plans in place.
