The new school year is underway, and Serving Our Kids is reaching more students across our community. For the 2026–2027 school year, we are serving 112 schools, including 14 new schools, and providing 6,000 weekend meal bags each week to help children bridge the gap between Friday’s school lunch and Monday’s breakfast.
Behind every meal bag is a coordinated effort to get food where it is needed. We have added another truck route to support deliveries as our school network grows. Our volunteers are also taking on an additional activities with applesauce parties, helping repackage applesauce into individual servings for our weekend meal bags volunteer bagging events.
This growth is possible because volunteers, donors and community partners continue to show up for local kids. Each school added means more children have support for the weekend, helping them return to class ready to learn.
“All in For Booker” means we make sure students feel cared for in and out of the classroom. SOK weekend meal bags provide reassurance that their community is there for them. We are grateful for the impact SOK makes in our students’ lives.
