Give today to support Austin ISD Nutrition & Food Services
Austin ISD Nutrition & Food Services are committed to providing healthy food access for all students. Our charging and courtesy meal policies are in place to ensure no student goes without a balanced meal, regardless of their account balance or payment status. This initiative allows members of the community to contribute funds to help cover the negative balance of student meal accounts.
I am giving because I was a child who received reduced lunch. We weren't "poor" but we did struggle to make ends meet at times. I was embarrassed that everyone knew who were there reduced and free lunch kids. Although, I was one of the fortunate kids who never went hungry it didn't make me feel good as a kid to be singled out or made fun of because I couldn't afford to pay the full price for food.
No child in this country of abundance should ever be hungry, let alone hungry in school.
If you have it to spare, always help those who do not. :-)
A hungry child can't learn. No child should be singled out in any way because he/she cannot afford to pay.
No child should be hungry. Thank you for setting this up
