    Investing in things like this are such no-brainers. Not only so they have great ROI via improving educational outcomes, they’re the right thing to do. A child’s lack of food is not their fault, but their parents and communitys.

      like, it seems a bit cruel to lay blame on the parents in this situation.

        Not quite sure if you’re critiquing my comment or not? I said “parents and community”, obviously some parents struggle to be able to put food on the table but I’ve unfortunately also known parents who despite being able to, do not provide for their children. Regardless, when parents fail the community must step up, schools included which can and should in turn be funded to better be able to provide these services.
