Holiday meals bring warmth, comfort and connection. But while many of us sit down to enjoy full plates, millions of kids across the nation may not have that same opportunity. Families are feeling the strain of rising food costs and tighter budgets. This looks like parents skipping dinner so their children have enough to eat. It looks like kids hiding that their stomach hurts in the middle of class. It’s families working long hours, sometimes two or three jobs, but still worrying at the checkout line of the supermarket.
In the middle of these challenges, communities have shown resilience looking after each other. In Caroline County, Maryland, the school district has become a hub to ensure all kids in the community have access to three meals a day every day of the year. This Giving Tuesday, NBC’s TODAY highlighted how Caroline County feeds kids through school and summer meals and efforts that support families' access to programs like SNAP.
