It would definitely be an improvement. I've been involved with both volunteer/municipal and provincial/public health programs to provide food in schools, and the story is constantly one of trying to do more with less. More kids (and more of those kids in need), higher prices and less community/government support. (In terms of both funds and volunteers.)
