[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who thinks this is ridiculous and a huge waste of FCPS funds?

I'm sure you are not. Lots of people don't realize that the only real food some kids in FCPS get is school lunch. That's why they send backpacks with food for them home on weekends. It's not like this is a social event at a Langley feeder. These are very high FARMS rate schools In places like Bailey's where many kids are on their own all day while their single parent mom works.  It's hard for me to begrudge any kid 5 solid meals a week. This may be being done through the federal FARMS program. But even if it's my property tax dollars at work, I'm fine with it. People talk about not sending American money overseas when there are hungry people at home. Well, these are hungry kids who love a few mile from you. I imagine if you actually went to one of these schools at lunchtime and saw the kids, you'd grow some compassion. Or maybe not. [/quote]

I guess church's and other non profits don't do this anymore[/quote]

When was the last time you volunteered and gave to a local food program?  [/quote]
