Students owing lunch money in RI will get jelly sandwiches until debt is paid
- sarcasmatwork 8y agoimho it is sad that this is even a thing. Nitpicking about milk? Is this the parents fault? State? Cost of food?
- ohiovr 8y agoIn my corner of the world the county children services say one in 8 kids are in their program. I worked at a grocery store a few years ago and I have a memory of a couple ~10 year old sisters trying to find the lowest price hot dogs. It is sad to see the RI school wouldnt take the restaurants donations because the need is very great. Childhood hunger is not easy to solve at home when parents are more concerned with their next fix than their kids wellbeing. But at least schools could offer something nutritious for them if the taxpayers wanted it to happen.
