With the coronavirus causing many schools to shut down, a lot of parents are scrambling to figure out how to make sure they have someone to watch their kids during the day. To help try and keep the kids busy during the day, many schools are going to online classes. The problem with that is not all families can afford the cost of internet. That's where Comcast comes in.

Comcast has a package called Internet Essentials. It's available to low income families for $9.95 per month. To qualify a family needs to be eligible for public assistance programs such as the National School Lunch Program, Housing Assistance, Medicaid, SNAP, SSI, and others AND live in the Comcast service area.

For the next 2 months, however, this package will be free! Comcast wants to make sure as many families as possible are connected so the kids can continue education and parents can stay informed. There's no contract or credit check and Comcast will provide you with a self-install kit that includes a cable modem with WiFi router.
