Melanie Bradley+FollowKids Eat Better at School Than at HomeThe 7-year-old boy next door runs to the school cafeteria every morning because it’s the only guaranteed hot meal he’ll get that day. His mom told me, “If it weren’t for the free lunch program, I don’t know what he would eat this month.” Some people call it “welfare.” For many families, it’s the last safety net. #SchoolMeals #ChildHunger #FoodInsecurity #EducationAccess00Share
Darryl Murphy+FollowThe Pickup Line That Left Seniors Empty-HandedYesterday at the free food pickup outside our community supermarket, I saw something that honestly made everyone angry. A black pickup truck pulled right to the entrance and the driver told volunteers he was “in a rush.” They actually let him cut the entire line and grab two full boxes of meat and produce. The seniors who had waited an hour just stared in disbelief. One older woman with a cane whispered, “I only needed a bag of potatoes.” Everyone looked frustrated, but nobody wanted to cause a scene. Why does it always feel like the people who need help get the least? #FoodRelief #CommunityIssues #CostOfLiving #FairnessMatters00Share
