    The fun part is that there’s enough administration overhead to handling eligibility that just feeding all the kids doesn’t cost that much.

      Feeding all the kids costs LESS in most cases than the administrative cost to determining eligibility, and doesn’t put any (less) stigma on those who choose to accept it. Our school district does free lunch for any student, any grade, throughout the summer. I think making as little a deal about it as possible is a dignity thing. Let people have help without hoops to jump through or a societal perception of shame.
