"Imagine knowing that a storm was coming and you were seeking shelter. Imagine how worried you would be until you found that shelter. Shelter to keep your physical body from harm, shelter for those you love, shelter for peace of mind and security. That’s what a school meal represents to a child and their families. Healthy food for young bodies, ease on a parent’s mind that their child is being fed and a sense of security for the child that they know where their next meal is coming from.  Never underestimate the power that food can provide."
