stephenporter+FollowSchool Lunch on HoldI work as a nutritionist at an elementary school. In the lunch line, kids repeatedly check their balance cards to see if new funds arrived. Teachers reassure them: “We’re trying.” But I know, if assistance is delayed, free school lunch might be their only meal. Seeing children eat slower, my heart tightens. #ChildHunger #GovernmentShutdown #SchoolSupport130256Share
joshua24+FollowBeyond the School LunchI’m an elementary school teacher. Every lunch break, I notice a few kids eating slowly, because they know there won’t be food at home later. Many of their parents rely on SNAP, but when their income rises just a few dollars above the threshold, their benefits are cut. I wish someone understood—poverty isn’t a math problem. Those few dollars can mean a child’s next meal. #SNAPLife #ChildHunger #EducationMatters52Share
