Some days in the rush of getting ready for the day, my kids don't eat a proper breakfast and there are days when I don't seem to have enough things on hand. Knowing that they get a supplement when they get to school, and that it is available to everyone, really takes the pressure off. I don't have to worry about them being labelled or judged for needing the extra. I love that they share in the program with their classmates and am thankful for all that is 30,500 offered to them in the program.
