First-grade teacher Brooke Goins of Jacksboro Elementary School in Tennessee knew that many of the kids in her classroom struggled with food insecurity in one way or another. What she didn’t know was that if it weren’t for her school, some of them might not be eating at all.
For one student in particular, if he couldn’t get the usual donation from the guidance counselor who came by the school with donations from Mount Paron Baptist Church, he would be going without food altogether.
