Lunch Lady Gives Hungry Kid Free Meal, Gets Fired

Dalene Bowden has worked as a lunch lady for three years in Idaho. Last week, Bowden was working as a server at Irving Middle School when a 12-year-old girl told her she didn’t have any lunch money and was hungry. “I handed her the food and said ‘Here, we’ll take care of it in a minute’,” Bowden recalls. Her supervisor saw what happened and reported her and she was fired for theft. Bowden has hired an attorney.
