Underserved children need extra services to be competitive with children who are financially and emotionally secure. Children who live in fractured homes are extremely disadvantaged when it comes to achieving what others around them do. In this segment, we take a look at communities in Duluth, Minnesota; Boston, Massachusetts; Springfield, Missouri; and Nashville, Tennessee where grade schools are offering wrap-around services to their students including free food, family meals, clothing, laundry, and medical services.
