The canteen operator stated that they inform the parents of the students who receive free toast under this program, adding, "Our students come and stand in line like everyone else, discreetly, and take their food."
The "Toast on Hold" initiative, started three years ago by canteen operator Ümit Alpan at Sivas Dört Eylül Middle School, continues to grow with the support of charitable citizens and students! In this solidarity project where the giver's hand doesn't see the receiver's hand, needy students receive their meals without anyone noticing, and this year the goal is to support 25 students.
