Groceries for Children

When schools are out in New Haven, kids lose access to free meals that are an essential part of their household's economic security. Witnesses to Hunger calls on Yale University, which holds billions of dollars in untaxed property assets in New Haven as well as a multi-billion-dollar endowment, to do more than study and issue reports on our kids' hunger. Yale needs to step up and commit $100,000 per year to support existing free grocery programs at New Haven Public School locations that reach families when New Haven public schools are not session.
