Meet Champale Anderson: the Black woman & mother of six making 100 lunches a day

✨🖤 Imagine making 100 lunches a day just because you refuse to let the kids in your neighborhood go hungry.

North St. Louis mom of six Champale Anderson turned that kind of care into action, preparing free lunches for children in her community who need them.

What started with her own money grew into a community-supported effort, with donations helping her keep the lunches coming. Kids know they can show up and leave with something to eat — no questions, no shame, just somebody making sure they’re taken care of.

One woman. 100 lunches a day. A whole lot of love behind every bag. 🥹🖤
