Hows that gunna help when stores are empty?

That's all nice but the government should have a plan in place for emergencies like this. Taxpayers have already paid for their lunches.

The wealthiest Americans need to do this!!!

That's sad

I think this is great as an extra layer of support but is VA not doing something as well. I mean B-more is doing something.

🤔 if kids are given free/reduced lunches at school it's because their parent/parents applied for it. If the parents passed the requirements for that, then they would pass the requirements for SNAP and be issued a EBT card that would net them free groceries every month.

Each child who is receiving reduced price meals or free meals should receive a hamper before the school closes. The hamper could include granola bars, applesauce, cereal, eggs, potatoes, And canned goods like soup, pork and beans etc.

Wuhan Virus. Wuhan Virus. Wuhan Virus. There. I said it too.!!!

ReignOfApril My friend Karima needs help with her mom’s medical care after she had a stroke. She had only 1 donation until the generous people on Twitter got involved. She still has a long way to go; won’t you please be so kind and get her closer to her goal?

prisonculture Look how broken a system we inhabit, where broke teachers have to raise money to help feed kids. Broken system. But go off about how Bezos needs a tax cut, and how Bernie Sanders is unelectable. Disgusting failure of a country.

Buy em toilet paper

Good people doing what the government should have already taken care of.

Where are Trump’s rich friends?

This would not be needed under President Sanders!!

👏🏼 Heroes don’t wear capes!

Pick me too! Senior

teachers continually go above and beyond being simple educators.

America is broken.

God Bless them....
