On the last day of school, we wanted to thank all of our amazing volunteers who made this year, our 5th year, a smashing success! We especially want to thank Olivet Episcopal Church who not only provided space for us to store and pack the bags each week, but whose members enthusiastically packed over 440 bags every two weeks! Thank you!!

In the US, the world's largest food exporter, there are 13.1 million households with children that often go without food. What would it take to feed everyone?
