The health care provider told the television station she has an open-door policy on school days for children in the community, where they can knock on her door before and after school for snack.

“I was noticing how the kids, they would always be hungry,” Anderson said.

She added: “They get off the bus and they just take off running because they never know what I have in the bag. I switch it up. Sometimes I give them special treats for my special babies.”
