From The Casual Campfire Supply Co. ...
Currently in Sioux Falls, the school district is carrying a negative school lunch debt of around $110,000. Children from families that have past due account balances are currently not being provided breakfast or lunch at school. I have been told by multiple elementary and middle school teachers that if those children go through the lunch line anyway, their tray is taken away.
In Sioux Falls, 1 in 6 kids lives at risk of hunger. This means 17% of children rely heavily on school breakfast and lunch as a source of calories. You cannot learn if you are hungry.
I have started a GoFundMe through my company, The Casual Campfire Supply Co. along with the Sioux Falls chapter of the Guardians of the Children International. We are looking to make as big of a dent in this as possible. I challenge each of you to donate whatever you can so we can wipe this out.
Finally, one fundraiser changes the situation one time. This has been happening for decades, and must stop. A sustainable solution that guarantees our children are provided much needed nutrition at school is absolutely essential for development of young learners and contributing members of society.
This is not just a problem in Sioux Falls - Every SD community struggles with childhood hunger to some degree. As South Dakotans, let's fix the current issue, and work together on solving the problem for our kids and their kids to come.
