Help erase this debt and put school meals back in these children's hands NOW. Every child is worthy of direct aid - we aim to see healthy, happy children grow into compassionate, empowered adults!

School is the first social forum that children enter on their own. By assuring that every child has a meal, we affirm equal personhood. No child should go hungry, and mealtime should not bring shame with it.

Inspired by the work of other individuals who are directly tacking school lunch debts in districts around the country, Hilary Cato Stabb and Will Brumley decided to begin this campaign by targeting some of the poorest school districts in the US. The size of Jackson County's debt is small, but it's out of reach for the residents. Together, we can eliminate their debt, put all the children of Jackson County on equal footing in the lunchroom, and make sure young minds are energized and empowered!

All funds will go directly to the Jackson County School District and our contact with the local Food Service Director, including any surplus funds we may raise.
