Officials for schools in Alexander City said suppliers are short on products, drivers and warehouse employees. They are now having to ask parents to send their kids to school on a full stomach with snacks.<\/p>\n<p>Alexander City schools serve breakfast and lunch daily, but warned the shortage could impact breakfast for the students in the coming weeks. Additionally, students who attend Dothan City schools heavily rely on school provided meals, so they have partnered up with Dothan Leisure Services by creating the \u2018No Kid Hungry\u2019 grant, which would provide backpack meals to students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis area has a high population of free and reduced meal recipients, so the need to ensure that they do get meals when schools are closed is what brought this grant about,\u201d explained Stephanie Wingfield, program coordinator. \u201cKids can\u2019t do a whole lot when they\u2019re hungry. When they have food, then they can go out and do other things, but it\u2019s kinda hard to be hungry and to concentrate.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This National School Lunch Week, we recognize <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/hungerheroes?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#hungerheroes<\/a> who are behind the scenes, making decisions to keep students healthy and nourished.
