The Birth of the School Lunch Program.pdfPaulClaybrook
The Commodity Donation Program of 1936 marked the first time the government became significantly involved in school lunches. Because crop surpluses are harmful to respective commodity prices, the act attempted to eliminate them by allotting excesses, in the form of lunches, to underprivileged school children1. However, many school boards did not espouse the program. They were unwilling to invest in equipment and expansion for a program that was not certain to continue. Additionally, food donation from the government fluctuated with commodity surpluses2. So the 79th Congress considered a legislative proposal to make the Commodity Donation Program permanent. It was signed into law as the National School Lunch Bill1.

The community of children whose parents undergoing cancer treatment are in need of the services the Children’s Academy of Pinellas has to offer. Expanding the childcare program to include complimentary nutritious meals will not only encourage proper nutrition for children of the academy, but help alleviate some of the parental or caregiver stress that often accompanies those undergoing cancer treatment.
Where are they?
The population of children being served at the Children’s Care Academy live within the central west portion of Pinellas County, Florida.
When is the need evident?
Children can be at the academy for several hours a day, often during breakfast, lunch and or dinner times, requiring the need for children to receive a nutritious meal. Some parents may not have the time, energy or financial means to provide nourishing food for their children during their stay at the academy. The need is evident for each child as long as the parent or caregiver is undergoing cancer treatment.
What is the need?
The need for expanding the outreach program is two-fold; to ensure children are receiving nutritious meals and to help ease some parental responsibilties while undergoing cancer treatment. Many parents or caregivers do not have family members or friends available to help care for children during time-consuming cancer treatment sessions. Traditional daycare facilities are fashioned to accommodate working parents requiring payment for services on a continual basis regardless of how often the children attend. Daycare facilities are also very expensive and do not provide nutritious food programs on a complimentary basis. The Children’s Care Academy is designed to care for children coinciding with treatment schedules on a complimentary basis.
Pinellas County is home to a large population of single-working parents struggling to make ends meet. Single families generally face greater challenges in everyday life with less income and less family support. Demanding cancer treatment schedules can further complicate the single-family structure resulting in an even greater need for the resources offered by the Children’s Care Academy of Pinellas.
Why does this need exist?
Parents or caregivers undergoing cancer treatment face a multitude of challenges. Those undergoing treatment become all consumed with vigorous treatment schedules and learning to deal with the aftermath of some of the physical and emotional side effects resulting from treatment. Treatments such as radiation and chemotherpay can take a toll on the body resulting in nausea, vomiting, weakness, loss of appetite and fatigue; leaving little energy to perform even the easiest tasks at home, such as prepari.

With the hiring of a new state dental director and the development of a new state oral health plan, there is a renewed interest among oral health stakeholders in California to ensure that school districts and school-based health centers are consistently participating in oral health programming. This panel of experts will provide an overview of the current oral health best practices, funding mechanisms and strategies being explored to increase and institutionalize participation among school districts statewide.
At the recent Place Matters conference in Washington, D.C., David Williams, PhD, the Norman Professor of Public Health at the Harvard School of Public Health and staff director of the reconvened Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Commission to Build a Healthier America, talked about the need for cooperation between the community development industry and health leaders.
“Community development and health are working side by side in the same neighborhoods and often with the same residents but often don’t know each other or coordinate efforts.”
