[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]500 meals served today[/quote]

Besides the 250 Kaya ate and 200 eaten/taken by volunteers, essential personnel who showed up & their buddies, how many families were fed?[/quote]

Don't want to be doubting Thomas, but can't imagine there being 500 meals served to needy families either. I saw a handful of people out and about in my neighborhood today, and the few I did see were not going to eat a hot meal of carrots and hotdogs at a DCPS school. However, think it was a good idea but not really planned out. Also, agree that in this day and age the image of the starving child is a more of a myth. Access to cheap food, schools serving breakfast, lunch, and after school meals  and the availability of foodstamps has helped play a role in this. Now whether the food is quality food or healthy is another issue. Now whether a child has access to other resources is another issue. I give after-school children additional treats that I purchase and they gobble them up, not because they are hungry but they certainly don't get what I would call treats. As the other poster state gift cards were wanted instead, I don't actually see anything wrong with that though.  [/quote]
