If you're going to educate them (and you should), then feed them too. Any teacher will tell you that a hungry child has a harder time paying attention and is more disruptive. That's why there are free and reduced lunch and breakfast programs in the first place. Many children of citizens come to school hungry and get their only filling, nutrious meal of the day. It allows all the other children at the school to learn better as a result.
It's one government program that shows hard and fast results.
