School is out in many school districts across North Carolina on Wednesday as teachers march on the state legislature in Raleigh to demand better pay and benefits.

But while local students might be missing class, they don’t have to miss school lunch. Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools is hosting lunch at one school and three community sites, according to a school email sent to parents last week.

Check out the list below for location details.

  • Northside Elementary (350 Caldwell Street in Chapel Hill) Lunch served 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Please check in at the school’s office then come down to the café.
