i am sympathetic to kids who go to bed hungry, because for the most part they have dope head crack whores for a mom, and either no dad, or one that really doesn't qualify due to alcohol or drugs.
too many don't have their priorities straight. buy cigs and booze before food. after all, if you drink enough and smoke enough, there are no hunger pains. and they could care less about little johnny being hungry.
here where we live, they have free breakfast and lunch for everyone. they found that many didn't fill out the forms for free or reduced meals due to shame. so it's free for all--and no one has to sit and check off names, or collect money, etc. so at least kids get two meals a day.
also, all summer they run a feeding program--breakfast and lunch every weekday, and a bus runs to pick up kids from outside of town.

thing is, there really is no reason for anyone to go hungry. there are a lot of programs to help, as well as a lot of community assistance.
