Hunger is another issue I want to stand for. As a teacher, it hurts me to see a child hungry. I love that my old high school had the backpack program. Every month, children in need would receive a backpack full of non-perishable food that they can take home to help them out. I personally will keep snacks in my classroom for children who are hungry throughout the day. It’s a small detail, but it could make a huge difference.
My high school also did summer breakfast and lunch. So that way students could still receive food during the school breaks.
