There are currently 35,000 children enrolled in there Indianapolis Public school system.  According to the USDA many of these children live at or below poverty level.  Most of them cannot afford school uniforms or supplies.  On the east side of Indianapolis, 8 out of 10 do not get two meals a day unless they are in school.  Roughly half of these children graduate high school.
