Weekend Food Bags Every week, volunteers meet to put together a bag full of nutritious food for each child enrolled in our elementary school program. Bags include a vegetable (canned or fresh), a fruit (canned or fresh), whole grains, protein items, and 2 breakfasts/snacks. Volunteers deliver bags to participating schools on Thursday of each week, to be distributed before they leave for the weekend.
School Fuel Students need snacks at school to maintain focus, keep their energy up, and find success in their classes. Many teachers have reported to us that they use personal finances to purchase extra snacks for their students who are not able to bring one from home. We created this program to provide school day snacks and alleviate the financial burden from teachers who are providing this on their own.
In-School / District Food Banks These food banks provides fresh and shelf stable food to kids that attend school in the district or school where they are located. Food for Hope works with each location to identify families who need food resources and enable them to shop for what they need. Food banks are currently located in Adams 12, 27J, Adams 14, and at Pinnacle Charter School.
