In My Opinion
While reading the Urbana Citizen newspaper recently I
noted the following article and wondered what Wilmington City Schools (WCS) and
the local YMCA were doing about the little or no cost opportunity.
Many readers are not big supporters of handouts to able-bodied
adults but only the hardhearted would object to helping to nourish the 54% of
WCS students that, due to low household income, qualify for free and reduced
price school lunches. They get a least one good meal during the school year but
what about the summer months? The program is scam proof because you can’t sell
or trade a consumed meal.
I contacted the WCS and was informed that they thought about it
last year but they under the mistaken impression that the YMCA was performing
the service. When contacted the “Y” that claimed no knowledge of the feeding
program.
