Punching Bag Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Not sure WHY they need donations. The federal government has been paying for meals, breakfast and lunch, for students 7 days a week. My wife is the manager of a high school kitchen and even over Christmas break food was supplied to all kids. They need it because of 2 reasons - Louisville has not applied for aid or money used elsewhere. I am not in favor of the program since it is neither means tested nor verifies person who picks up food has as many kids as meals they are taking and have not picked up meals from other schools. ICYMI: USDA Extends Free Meals for All Kids https://www.usda.gov/media/press-releases/2020/10/16/icymi-usda-extends-free-meals-all-kids Quote Washington, Oct. 16, 2020 -- President Donald Trump proclaimed this week National School Lunch Week 2020, highlighting the vital role of school nutrition professionals in ensuring that children in all communities nationwide continue to get nutritious meals, despite the challenges posed by the current public health emergency. To keep this work going, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Sonny Perdue recently announced the continued extension of nationwide flexibilities that allow free school meals for all children throughout the entire 2020-2021 school year.

I wished him a speedy recovery and hoped he was OK in the comment section. I didn't start this, just sharing it in case people want to donate is all. I don't know if Taron has a charity. I think some fans are looking into it. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I did have classes in debate and sarcasm was a tool taught to break down opponents in debates. I was offered a full political science scholarship to Gannon University in Erie, PA and I turned it down for I did not understand that you could still qualify for scholarship while taking other courses for the degree you really wanted.

Billznut Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Just saw a shot from the airport with Jackson posing with some Bills fans at the fence. Hopefully someone can post it. I can’t figure out how to do it. Pretty impressive and classy by him I’ll have to admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Jackson would eventually be ruled out of action with a concussion. Following the injury, the Bills Mafia wanted to do something for the Ravens’ quarterback. As they have done many times in the past, the fan base went the donation route. One fan on Reddit found that Jackson’s favorite charity was Blessings in a Backpack. He posted his donation and it has since taken off with many other fans sending money to the cause.

This time, following Buffalo's 17-3 win over Lamar Jackson's Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional Round, the Western New York supporters sought out one of the Ravens QB's preferred charities to show their appreciation for his effort with donations.
