A proposal

It's a little late this year but maybe for Houston if it can get organized enough.
Perhaps we should start a food fund for teams that need the help (and before someone screams "Welfare!" please remember that we're talking gracious professionalism here first and foremost and that basically means helping out those who need the most help). A simple donation of funds from teams, pool it together and arrange it for vouchers to be used at venues so teams can at least afford to feed their kids.
The venues do deserve to make money but not at the expense of driving underfunded teams into bankruptcy. This seems like a happy medium.
Discuss.
