While many kids receive some form of food assistance at school during the week, almost none receive any food assistance on the weekends. That means thousands of food-insecure children leave school on Friday not knowing if they will eat again until Monday.
While many kids receive some food assistance at school during the week, many may not have food assistance on weekends. That means thousands of food-insecure children leave school on Friday not knowing if they will eat again until Monday. And when school is not in session, this problem gets much worse.
Right now, we deliver 4,500 weekend meal bags every week during the school year. But that’s not nearly enough to keep pace with the shocking growth of child hunger in our community.
Our goal is to increase this to more than 7,500 meal bags over the next three years. It will take more hard work and more concerned, generous people like you to help make sure 113,000 kids in Clark County can dream of a brighter future. A future without hunger.
