In Oklahoma, nearly 13,000 school age children leave school on Fridays not knowing if they will eat again until school resumes on Monday. I am currently Miss Bethany's Outstanding Teen and I established F.A.B. I learned first hand about this critical situation while
volunteering at a local elementary school. I asked a 2nd grade student what she liked best about school.....her answer was.... "to b
e able to eat". I knew I had found a platform that I sincerely wanted to invest in and knew I could make a difference with. in conjunction with the Community Food Bank of Oklahoma's Backpack Program supports and provides donations and volunteers to this crisis. Each backpack included 10 "kid friendly" foods such as raisins, shelf safe milk, peanut butter and crackers, and granola bars. Food items are easy open and do not require heating. For $200.00 you can feed a child on the weekends for an entire year. Any and all donations/gifts are welcomed and appreciated. I will be posting giving opportunities and donation sites regularly. Thank you for your interest and support. Oklahoma is the 4th "hungriest" state in our nation and many, many of these are children. Please take a moment to consider how you can to contribute.
