Combatting hunger means fighting stigma, ‘pride gap,’ experts say

Students getting their lunch at a primary school.

Schools do what they can to make sure food is available for students, but they can’t eliminate that stigma that puts kids into “categories.” “The program inherently labels and puts kids into categories,” CDF-Ohio stated in a white paper on student hunger. “The stigma felt by students that the program is only for low-income kids causes many children not to participate.”

Free and reduced lunch programs are supported through the federal National School Lunch Program, and free breakfasts are also a part of the strategy to get children fed while they’re required to attend school. The ODE said not all schools participate in the NSLP, but of the more than 3,700 schools who do, more than 91% operate both the NSLP and the School Breakfast Program.

What Hale also found as he worked through the challenge was that his district’s struggles weren’t unlike districts in the rest of the state. Pickerington Schools currently has more than $46,000 in charges, according to Brent Kasler, supervisor of food services.
