Stafford may rank as a "wealthy" county in Virginia and nationwide, but its student population reveals the extent to which food insecurity is damaging children and families in the county.
Thanks for writing. Saw something recently where a neighboring county (King George? Caroline?) had a program where all students were being provided with unconditional breakfasts, under a grant. Seems like there should be some similar funding for lunches.
It's bad enough if anyone in our country goes hungry, but especially our children.
If we truly believe that we are one people, one country - they are as much our responsibility as they are their parents. We tend our animals, our equipment, our roads.
Hello David. I am the President of this non profit GBA Bright Futures Foundation and I would like to discuss and get more information about this topic. This is the primary objective of our non profit. My contact information is Michael.Alcantara@gbabrightfutures.org thank you for time.
And yet, this is the lady sponsoring legislation to give special tax breaks to church-run daycares over private, tax paying daycares. And who dropped the ball on changing county policies so that now a meth clinic will be opening next to a private daycare.
Be nice if she cared as much about everyday people as she does following her party.
I guess Monica Gary's feeling very proud of her 5th column, vanity campaign to divide the non-theocratic vote so that Ms Durant would end up representing us instead of Joel Griffin. Now we all suffer the consequences.
As folks like Mr Davis played Ms Gary's no-chance candidacy up either for the drama, or because of their mutual admiration.
Oh, and did I mention that Ms Durant's also sponsoring a bill that will revert local elections back to May?
Good for those who have nothing but time (read retired Republicans), not so much for people who work for a living, or want to keep the cost of administering government down....
Excellent article by David Kerr. Food access is an important issue in our community.
Agreed with Mr Ackermann.
A Tale of Two Cities, a tale of two worlds.

Why not our children?
Food for thought. Thanks again, Mr Kerr.
