Highlights of the conversation:

  1. Schools want to focus on education and often do not have the staff/time to implement such programs
  2. Who is your target? Who is all child hungry?
  3. Is it because the family is not hooked up with other resources? Are they eligible?
  4. Schools are great access points. They are a community that families are involved in.
  5. Is the food for that single child or for the family?
  6. It is a school-by-school solution?
