Not we, exactly, but our Parent Life teens and their babies need food. More specifically, a meal, served family-style, maybe the only one they have for the week.
Did you know that the habit of eating together as a family around a table is one of the most important things a family can do together? (Check out all the reasons in this Washington Post article.) You might know this, but many of the teens parents in our program do not, which is why we have family-style dinner every Tuesday night at the beginning of our Parent Life meetings. But we can't offer family dinners if we don't have food.
