Hans Breeveld reflects on the enduring significance of President Jennifer Simons’ commitment to ensuring that every child receives at least one warm meal daily.

Breeveld recalls the words of the evangelist Matthew: ‘Man shall not live by bread alone,’ emphasizing that while basic needs are essential, intellectual and emotional nourishment are equally critical.
