\"Frozen
Group takes left over food and makes frozen take home for kids<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Some members of the community were concerned that while students got breakfast and lunch at school during the week, they often went hungry during the weekends.\u00a0 So they did a simple thing – they solved the problem.\u00a0 At their local level, at a size they could handle.\u00a0 Its a small program – 20 students get a back pack with 8 frozen meals every Friday to take home.\u00a0 No, it doesn’t solve world hunger.\u00a0 But is solves the hunger of 20 local kids and their families.<\/p>\n

Original story:\u00a0School district turns unused cafeteria food into take-home meals for kids<\/a><\/p>\n
