About this service
Weekend Program: Food bags are delivered to their schools every Friday where they are discreetly distributed for our kids to take home. The Weekend Program is facilitated by volunteers, as well as school staff, teachers, and principals who ensure that children receive the food packages, without stigma. Each week, our volunteers pack and distribute food packages that are delivered to participating schools. Plain plastic bags are filled with healthy food items and placed in the childs backpack on Friday, before the child leaves for home for the weekend. These packages provide enough food to sustain and nourish the children until they are back at school on Monday morning. Almost 50% of the children we feed have cultural, dietary, or allergy restrictions which we do our best to accommodate so that they can actually eat the food that we provide.
Who can use it?
Children ages 1-14 living with chronic hunger from severely food insecure homes during weekend periods and during winter, spring and summer breaks, when kids are not in school and unable to access school nutrition programs.
