My sister works as a catering assistant (glorified dinner lady)
and she sees kids who have been sent to school with nothing to eat.
kids who are refused dinner because their parents haven't paid.

she gives them food to eat. when she first done it she was told off. but she said she's not going to see a child go hungry. and especially when the food gets thrown away or is taken home by the other assistants. including herself. so she does it regardless.

and the best thing is that a lot of these kids parents have money.
obviously it goes on where the parents don't have money too.
