Our kids face enough opposition in school and at home than to worry whether or not they will have a meal at anytime during the day. SOLO Ministries plans to change that. During the 2016-2017 school year, we launched The Lunch EXperience! The Lunch EXperience is our initiative that will allow us to pay off delinquent lunch accounts for all students to ensure that they aren’t turned away and receive a full balanced meal at least twice a day.
During our initial launch and such a late start we were able to pay off the delinquent balances for students at B.C. Charles Elementary. With the success of last year, we are back at it again for the 2017-2018 school year. Each month we will supply a money order to the Cafeteria Manager of a different school and keep our mission going.
The Newport News Public School system oversees over 25,000 students per school year and our goal by June 2018 is to ensure that delinquent accounts at all schools are PAID IN FULL. In order to reach our goal, we will need your help. Here are the costs families face:
Meal Prices
Full Price Breakfast $1.00
Reduced Price Breakfast $0.30
Full Price Lunch $2.35-$2.45
Reduced Price Lunch $0.40
*Through a special provision of the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, the following schools will provide free breakfast and lunch to all students: An Achievable Dream Academy, Marshall Early Learning Center, Magruder Discovery STEM Academy, Newsome Park Elementary School, McIntosh Elementary School, Sedgefield Elementary School, and Huntington Middle School.
To many this might seem economical but for some families with a financial hardship, even at reduced price, $14.00 per month may be entirely too much to pay. Now imagine the following scenarios:
Help us reach our goal by making a donation of $14.00 to cover the cost of one month's reduced price breakfast and lunch for one student. We believe that TOGETHER we can be the example and help our children have a GREAT Lunch EXperience.
