The economy is hitting everyone hard. It would be nice it all schools in the county were included in this.

Just because parents can afford to buy school lunches or send a lunch with their child, does NOT mean they do. They are too busy, out of bread, had to leave early for work, etc. It’s sad, but there are lots of kids out there whose parents, for whatever reason, don’t take care of them. Ask any teacher. It’s a real problem. I realize this article is about school lunches, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Nothing is free! There couples paying taxes that haven’t had children in school in 45 years. And when they did have children they paid for their lunches out of their own pocket. So if you do have children please except my tax dollars.

Why not make a volunteer type of program that people could contribute to if they CHOOSE to do so. I don’t know instead demanding money from ALL TAX PAYERS. It’s a charitable contribution offering a tax deduction, might get a little more when asking others nicely to provide assistance with a request rather than a demand

Because it is in our best interest to provide for ourselves.

…Unless our goals are to live within the means of another’s efforts. In which case, like a prison, we live within their control.

I would like to know why tate is not on this list! It’s not right! If your going to offer free meals then it should be for everyone. Can someone please explain to me why people who are incarcerated can get 3 meals a day for free but our children cant????

If so much of everyone’s tax dollars weren’t wasted on no essentials in the County’s budget there would be plenty to feed all the kids . And until Escambia County residents learn to stand up / attend County Board meetings nothing will change. Do you all know exactly just how and what all your taxes are spent on yearly? What future plans for so called County improvements are budgeted for?
Maybe you should take some time out of your busy schedules and pay attention to how your money is spent

Someone has got to be responsible for all my babies. There aught to be consequences for a government that fails to meet the needs of my children!
