Parents venture out in a fierce storm to secure three days of food for their children on first day of LAUSD strike
Benita Perez was the first in line. The rain poured steadily down, but she wanted to get enough food for her grandchildren to tide them over during the three-day Los Angeles Unified School District strike.
But with the support staff who normally pack and serve meals on strike amid long-running contract talks, and with teachers joining them in solidarity, the district had to find other ways to provide food for the families in its care. “Not having this money is really going to impact me and really impact what we have to eat,” said Villasano, who lives in City Terrace. She told her kids they would have to eat “whatever they’re able to give us” at the Lincoln Park distribution center.“I would like them to get better wages,” she said of school workers. “I hope they reach an agreement, because they deserve it.”
In front of the Glassell Park Recreation Center, the line was 20 vehicles deep along Verdugo Road. The operation was supposed to end at 10:30 a.m., but distribution continued for another half hour to accommodate everyone.
