When school is in session, yes, they get free breakfast & lunch

Some school systems provide food over the summer as well. (Kansas City for example.)

but to get to a church based food pantry, she would need a ride or a car.

Harvester's, Salvation Army and others purposely locate their food pantries in the areas the have the largest population of poor so that they can walk to the pantry. If she is not close to one, she can call them and they will often help her get there (or deliver the food to her).
