What We Do...
During the 40 week school year, we provide children in food insecure households an extra boost of nutrition: a backpack with 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, and 3 snacks. We also provide an item to help the family stretch their food budget. Breakfast includes cereal or oatmeal, lunch might be canned pasta or soup. An applesauce cup and fruit cup and a can of vegetable are included each week. Snacks include goldfish, granola bars, snack crackers, and occasionally some cookies. The extra item for the family includes a full size box of black beans & rice, tuna & tuna helper, or a box of spaghetti and sauce. All items are shelf stable, easily opened, nutritionally balanced and kid approved.
