Vantage West Credit Union donated $27,000 to pay off all of the fall semester student lunch debt, ultimately helping 1,375 children.
TUCSON, Ariz. — As many families are left trying to deal with inflation, paying for a school lunch for their child can put a strain on finances. It is sometimes especially difficult for those who are making just above the threshold to qualify for free lunch.
"For the family that has student lunch debt, that can be a tremendous burden for anyone, but certainly families with more than one child, it just really adds up," VWCU CEO Sandra Sagehorn-Elliott said."And with inflation as high as it's been, it just seemed like a really good time to do something like this."
