This study aimed to describe the strategies used to provide school feeding in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil, in the context of facing the new coronavirus pandemic. This action was primarily based on the Human Right to Adequate Food and the exceptional authorization of food distribution to public school students throughout the country, by the National School Feeding Program (Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar - PNAE). The action plan was to deliver the feeding kits, whose composition met the current standards and specifications of the Food Guide for the Brazilian Population, prioritizing natural and minimally processed foods. The distribution of food purchased from family farming and the adaptation of some foods in the kit to meet the special food needs were contemplated. In May and June, respectively, 131,703 and 132,562 students were attended covering public municipal schools, municipal daycare centers, and contracted daycare centers. In summary, this action reached the program universality and the assurance of food and nutritional security to the attended students during the pandemic period.
