Today I was told about the newest challenge, which affects our children and our schools. The motels in our area (specifically chosen by the State for their location to major highways) are seeing an increase in families who have been displaced due to job losses and home foreclosures. "I did not know" that the food pantries in certain towns are serving more children and are able to keep up, but the schools are not. There are not enough funds to cover additional lunches.
This is news that I could not keep to myself. I am sorry to say it is sad and worrisome, but it is real and happening in our own backyards.
I did not know but now I do and so do you!
