Many things are learned in the classroom and it's all very important... But there was a classroom we went to everyday that had no blackboard. See, to a student, the lunchroom is a classroom... It's a classroom where relationships are established, self-esteem is forged, and acceptance is made or broken.
According to data from the Minnesota Department of Education, there are more than 200,000 students dependent on free lunches, and another 60,000 dependent on reduced price lunches.
But Many students and families who do not qualify for a meal subsidy, are still unable to pay for their lunch. What if school lunch mattered to us? What if we could take the shame away from students who did not have, so we could build up their self-esteem. With all the things under-privileged kids have to worry about, what if the one thing they didn't have to worry about was lunch?
Passion Church has decided to provide lunch to every student who is not able to receive a meal subsidy in Osseo School District, the Fridley School District and the Richfield School District. Partner with us so we can extend that goal even longer.
Help us make sure that every student in the Osseo, Fridley and Richfield School District have lunch by clicking the giving link below. Select SchoolLunchMatters.com in the dropdown when you visit the giving page.
