Read the full storyAn anonymous donor has paid more than $3,500 in lunch debt across Brunswick City Schools in Ohio, covering every building in the district. The district announced the payment on its Facebook page, and the news was reported by WJW, the Fox station in Cleveland. Unpaid meal bills can leave children in a difficult position at lunchtime, and schools often have to chase families for money they may not have. Clearing the balances means no child is left with a bill at the lunch counter for the rest of the year. The original report from WJW gives the district's own statement and the date of the announcement.
Why we picked this: A simple act with a clear effect: the debt is gone for every school in the district.
