Buying school lunch for a friend?

The school just started and my daughter already bought three lunches for her new friend. The friend forgets to bring her lunch to school and never has any money to buy one. We know that the low income people can get free or subsidized lunches but the girl might not be poor. And my daughter feels sorry for her and pays for her lunches. I told her no more lunches for her friend but what if the girl is living in some kind of family that maybe doesn't buy enough food or parents just don't make lunch for her and she is hungry. Should I talk to somebody about it? We don't want to be responsible for feeding the kid but we also don't want her to starve. Any suggestions?

    Try asking your daughter's friend, or her parents. Try talking it out with your daughter about this situation.

    Invite her over, talk to her about her family. Get to know her. That's the best way to do things in my opinion. You could also talk to her parents if you meet her/him. All you'd have to do is invite the girl over and when she drops her off maybe sneak in a quick comment about it. Good Luck!
