I hear what you’re saying and the difficulty your children are facing.
I would however say this is not an issue specific to shluchim.
I’m not an (official) shiach, was learning out of town as a bochur, and so are some of my children. And the issues are the same.
Yes, this is an issue, and needs to be worked on.
Wishing you hatzlacha in your shlichus, and in all your inyanim.

I’m not sure who you are or if you went thru ‘the system’ but a Yeshiva Bochurs Shabbos meal when he eats in yeshiva consist of Challah, Gefilta fish, and maybe a piece of chicken, no ‘Shabbos food’, Shabbos Meal Vibe…

From experience, it can be very helpful to ask advice from those who are wise in this area, or from those who are in the professional field; for advice on creating a welcoming and intuitive shabbos meal environment, where our children will crave to be by.
Are we pressuring or children to say D’var Torah’s, or do we embrace our children for who they are

It is a piece of good advice and a great thing to invite shluchim’s children to their home.
However, maybe the writer would feel comfortable calling parents of the child’s friend, and asking to arrange a visit etc.

It may feel uncomfortable at first, but I think it’s a normal thing.

Much Hatzlacha for the Shluchim’s children.

Are you sure this is something the yeshiva is looking for for the bochurim? Oholei Torah provides all the meals for the bochurim. Weekday, shabbos and yomim tovim (I’m not sure about Pesach).

If your son is looking for a family, lav davka he’ll end up at a family that it will be a benefit for him to be by.

It’s different with the girls. If the girls don’t have a meal to go to, they will literally not have any Shabbos meal at all.

My son is in Oholei Torah Shiur Daled and is always looking for a meal, when my daughters where in Seminary in crown heights the seminary arranged every week meals for the girls and I think the same should be done for the boys, if you live in crown heights and are looking to host chassidishe Bochrim please reach out to Rabbi leshes +1 347-263-3480

How can anash in c.h. helps shluchims children when they cant even help there own?!
Why so many single bochurim or girls who are either anash or BT and find themselves having shabbos and yom tov alone?!
This is the answer to the author. However keep one thing in mind, try your best to make sure on your shlichus that “not one jew” is left behind…. for there are so many bochurim and anash who come to chabad Houses and who can testify and say otherwise…..
