Rejected petition Continue free school meals during the summer for less fortunate kids
We want kids who aren’t fortunate enough as others to continue getting free meals during the summer holiday, may that even be one free meal a day
More details
There’s children out there who can’t even get a meal a day and relay on that one school meal everyday, how will they survive a summer we’re they won’t even get that one meal a day, we want the government to allow kids to receive that one meal a day, may that be by giving them a voucher, or even setting up a place we’re they can collect a meal, how cold hearted can we be by not giving those kids a meal just once a day, imagine if that was your child would you like to see them suffer like that
