Paying for past-due lunch accounts

My name is Lauren Rathbone.  I am a volunteer at Gorman Ruritan Club (Durham NC). Gorman Ruritan Club is raising money to pay off the past-due lunch balances at a local school in Durham NC. 

When a child's lunch account is overdue by $8.00, they are served a different lunch than the rest of the school. That lunch consists of a  turkey sandwich, drink, and snack. These kids are already dealing with social pressures, school pressure, peer pressure and family pressure, they do not need to be bullied or picked on because they cannot afford a school lunch.

$600  is just a start. We would love to have much more to benefit every school in the Durham System.  This will not only cover the reduced lunch kids, but also the rest of the population who  falls just short of reduced lunch, but still does not have the money for lunch everyday.
