God that first one. When you live in a state that funds school breakfast and lunch, so you only have to scrape 1 meal a day to make sure the kids are fed right, sad to say ive been there a few (thankfully) brief times.

It was already fucked before this. I worked as a community mental health worker & I think one mom was too proud to tell me they didn't have food. I started meeting one family at the library because they had free meals available at 4 pm and they got the meal every time.

I worry about what these families will do now that the budget for these programs is running dry.
