We all appreciate the food that we are now able to provide for the kids. To see them eating a big salad and a hot meal is wonderful, especially because we know that they might not have access to those healthy foods at home. Many are eating a nice breakfast when they get to school and we all know how difficult it can be to get a teenager to eat breakfast. These things make such a difference in their day!
