Our charitable organization for November & December 2026 is Delivering Bags of Hope for the Janesville School District.

The School District of Janesville is holding its 17th annual Delivering Bags of Hope food distribution on December 12, 2026

The School District of Janesville has 53% of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

With over 9,000 students in the district, over 5,000 often do not know whether they will eat between school days.

Their mission is simple yet vital: to ensure that students have the nutrition they need to learn, grow, and thrive—both in school and at home. We do this through several initiatives:

Supplying teachers with snack bags for students in need,
Providing $100 grocery gift cards to families during spring break, and
Distributing two weeks’ worth of food and essentials to 350 district families each December, when school-provided meals and snacks are unavailable.
Can't come to the distribution? You can purchase items for student snack bags from the Bags of Hope Wish List found on their website.

$100 donation supplies a family with a grocery gift card during spring break
$50 donation supplies a family with two weeks’ worth of food and other essentials during winter break
$20 donation supplies 20 students with a snack bag to help them get from school day to school day

Our Goal is to help out as much as we can, by giving back 10% of our proceeds from the last two months of 2026. We always have a donation jar by the counter as well, for donations of your extra change. 100% of that goes to the cause and $1 of every mystery bag ($5) also goes directly to the charity.

Help us fill our empty snack bags bins!

We have distributed over 4,500 snack bags so far this school year, which is over 20 bins that are now empty.

Can you help us fill them?

If you or you group can host a snack bag assembly (no matter how many you can commit to, can be 50), please email [email protected] to get more information.

You can also help by purchasing items from the Bags of Hope wish list OR individually wrapped snack items from Sam's Club or Costco (you can get ideas of what we need by looking over the wish list) is great. You can email Heather for drop off information.

Additionally, fifty $100 gift cards are provided to families whose housing situations do not allow them to take in so much food at one time, so that they can purchase as they need it.
