On her first day teaching students from poor families at an after-school program in New
York City, Alyssa Kapasi noticed many kids were lining up for free sandwiches and fruit in the
school cafeteria. One of the workers explained that many of these students don蒺t get enough to
eat at home, so a school lunch or an after-school meal might be the most food they would get

meals, and those students蒺 families have to pay for part of their food. When they don蒺t have the
money on any given day, the students might have to settle for an
