Hopefully this post is in the correct place ..
I was wondering if they have breakfast clubs at schools in other countries ? The BC collects food donations from supermarkets and donations from parents of students to feed children who have failed to have any breakfast prior to leaving home for various reasons ..
They have BC in most schools (that I'm aware of) .......in South Australia.......Studies have shown children learn/ behave better having something to eat prior to attending classes.....However I had five children to get ready for school I made sure I got up early enough to prepare them a good nourishing breakfast , comb hairs, make sure clothing was clean etc. I didn't rely on others to feed my children ..
I feel There is NO excuse to send children to school hungry..... and expect the generosity of volunteers, shops/and other parents to donate food for the program...
The Australian welfare system is adequate for anyone to buy good quality food, however many use it to buy ciggaretes, drugs, and Alcohol and in the past then relied on charities for a food parcel to feed " The Kids" The Australian goverment is now in the process of introducing cashless cards or people on welfare who are unable to manage their money to buy essentials, pay utilities ....ect
Many charities such as salvos ,Vinnies have complete meal packs , for very little cost people can purchase to take home and cook themselfs in preference to eating junk or no food ..
When I was living in Adelaide .( I live 200 km from Adelaide now) I volunteered in a community centre who supplied money, food parcels I became involved in training to take over the requests for cash for various reasons however I left the community centre before finishing the program due to disruptive other volunteers .
