Here’s an idea for urban areas. Why don’t we just take the children from their homes at birth and institutionalize them. They can have a place to sleep, exercise equipment, and three squares per day. It will prepare them for their future.
Fixed it for them.
Gives them more money for drugs
The culture must demand that the biological mother and father take responsibility for their offspring.
Various forms of government ‘compassion’ only perpetrates the problem.
Problem is there’s no shame in throwing your children to the lions, assuming you didn’t kill them in the womb first.
More statism. Just what the State needs.
Is happening all over the USA, including here.
Conditioning children to grow-up thinking that there
IS such a thing as Free Lunch.
A smarter idea. Go back to Families who cared for kids, with one or both parents working at a job that earns money and gives them pride.
Why would school ending have any impact on whether a 1 year is fed? This is nothing more than a redistribution exercise. I don’t know how they do it in Chicago, but here, the kids go through the line multiple times, while their moms sit nearby with strollers and stash the uneaten meals inside. When mom gets 6-8 meals, they leave. Nobody monitoring how many times kids go through, nobody saying anything to mom who is stashing meals, no rules about needing to eat food on the premises, no checking ages of people going through the lines. It’s a free for all. I’ve even heard moms I know can afford groceries discussing how they plan their daily schedules around making sure they’re in the park at lunch time, so they don’t have to fix lunch for their kids, because “it’s more convenient.”
I don’t get this. If these are poor kids, and their families are already getting food stamp SNAP EBT, whatever public benefits are called, then why, on top of that, do we need to feed them over the summer???
Free lunches for Chicago kids in need offered at 96 locations this summer

Just be sure these chillrens are NOT at these 96 locations after dark.
What with the liberal values in Chitcago - there may be GSW victims.
one wonders how much could be saved if we stopped giving extra food stamps to families who have their kids fed for free at school? and how much food stamp fraud would decline...
Well, at least they won’t be able to buy lottery tickets there.
If these kids have families getting food stamps, why are they getting free meals?
Perhaps the food stamps need to be cut.
Illinois is broke. US taxpayers will not bail them out.
At least they will be life-long reliable, easily-led, gullible democrat voters, community organizers and welfare-state customers.
Our welfare program continues to reward irresponsible people.
It’s like putting Miracle-Gro on weeds.
Here in TX, these summer FREE! lunches are offered to anyone 0-21.
Due to school taxes, we don’t turn the a/c on until it’s over 90 degrees now. The belt can’t be tightened any further.
Will the last person leaving Chicago, please turn off the lights?
Is the bankrupt state paying for this, the city, or the Federal government?
As I heard a pastor say once, welfare has removed all moral components from assistance.
