Michigan officials are alarmed by the possible upcoming changes to the school lunch program that has provided food for children during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Changes to the program are raising alarm bells for some Michigan officials. Sen. Debbie Stabenow said the U.S. Department of Agriculture did a fantastic job last spring by getting food to needy children. This is going to have a very harmful effect on our children and families who are already struggling during the pandemic, Rice said. Stabenow said she hopes the changes arent linked to President Donald Trumps desire to send children back to the classroom.
