## Resource

Across the United States, school lunch debt has quietly become a nationwide issue, with families collectively owing tens to hundreds of millions of dollars for meals served to their children. While programs are designed to provide free or reduced-price lunches, many families fall just outside eligibility or struggle to keep up with payments, leaving schools to absorb the cost.. In this episode, I explore how school lunch debt accumulates, school lunch shaming and the affects it has on familes. #schoollunchdebt #schoollunchshaming #schoollunch #debt #meals #publicschools Check out the webiste for more info http://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/ #thepeoplesvoicepodcast #social issues Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research
