The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileEvery week, the Peck National Honors Society students shop, transport, bag and distribute food to the lockers of students in need of food over the weekend. Over 10% of the families within the school district utilize the program, thats approximately 115 residents this year.
The purpose of this program is to provide supplemental nutrition to low-income families. It helps fill a nutrition gap by ensuring families get a bag of food containing at least one non-perishable vegetable, fruit, protein, carbohydrate, and two miscellaneous items. Six items total are sent home every week.
It takes on average about $200 per week to supply this much needed resource. When you give to this program you help us nourish our community. Not just with food, but with caring, a hand up, and a sense of belonging.
