impact over this year due to the continuing
impact of inflation. Inflation has remained high
and continued to impact the price of food. Our
meal remains the only thing keeping many
people safe from starvation. We continue to
recognize the impact this has on crime in the
area and the financial freedom it provides for
parents to send their kids to school. Caring Heart
remains committed to our approach due to the
extreme difference being on the brink of
starvation has on the level of desperation an
individual experiences and what they will do to
seek relief.|
