Free US school lunches were a dream come true. Now, a hunger crisis looms for 10 million children [theguardian.com]

By Wilfred Chan, Photo: Pixel-shot/Alamy, The Guardian, June 4, 2022 F or the last two years, the notion that no kid should ever have to go hungry in the US has gotten closer to a reality, thanks to federal waivers that have expanded children’s access to food.

While theoretical knowledge is helpful, and ACEs science is amazing and interesting in its own right, trauma-informed/trauma-sensitive ministry must actually APPLY that knowledge in order to help anyone.
