Did you know that 1 in 8 kids in Fulton County suffer from food insecurity? Yet, 1 in 4 of those don't qualify for the free/reduced lunch program. School lunch debt is mounting all over the county, but especially at Rochester Community Schools.

Unfortunately, many families are unable to keep up with rising costs…including school meals. The sad reality is that, more often than one would think, school meals are the only meals some children get.

Hunger changes how a child's brain and body grow and affects thinking, learning, and behavior. When a child isworried about where his or her next meal comes from, s/he can’t possibly be expected to care about academics.

Luckily for Fulton County’s kids, Joe's Hope Foundation, Inc. is committed to paying off outstanding student lunch debt at Rochester, Caston, and Tippy Valley schools!! Unnecessary Extras is honored to partner with them to raise the funds that help fill hungry bellies!!
