🎒 For most children, Friday means looking forward to the weekend. For some, it also means losing access to the reliable meals they receive at school.
That's the weekend gap, and it's why the Fieldstone Foundation's Backpack Program matters.
Each week, participating elementary students bring home nutritious, child-friendly meals and snacks for the weekend. Last year, the program supported 580 children across 9 schools in 6 districts, providing more than 65,000 meals and snacks.
During Hunger Action Month, we're shining a light on childhood hunger right here at home and the power of our community to help address it. 🌱
Because every child deserves the opportunity to spend the weekend simply being a kid.
