Description: "Feeding kids. Fueling futures." That's the motto of Hunger Busters, a small but well-connected nonprofit in West Dallas. The idea is to provide a sandwich and sides at the end of the school day to thousands of "food-insecure" Dallas Independent School District students who might not otherwise get dinner at home. A CBS News Texas investigation, though, found that's no longer happening.
