Marshall Food4Kids

Marshall Food4Kids We provide nutritious snack bags to students in Head Start, preschool through grade 6, and at MATEC.

• The program provides food support to public school students by sending home a bag of healthy snacks for the weekend.
• The program started in 2013 serving 98 children and grew to more than 200 students in less than a year. About 825 children are currently enrolled and more are regularly being added as funding allows.
• The food is packed by volunteers and delivered to schools weekly.
• We distri

buted a record 32,362 bags in the 2019-2020 school year (mostly higher due to COVID lockdowns) and 19,883 bags in the 2020-2021 school year.
• We are a 100% volunteer organization.
• Any child in Head Start or any Marshall Public School student who wants extra food assistance for the weekend, with a parent or guardian’s consent, is eligible to participate in the program.

Still thinking about donating? Now’s the time.

We’re halfway through our July Sponsor A Child campaign — and thanks to your support, we’ve made strong progress. But we still need your help to reach our goal of closing the funding gap for the 2025–26 school year.

With reduced grant funding and more kids to serve, your donation will help us continue providing weekly snacks to more than 860 students in Marshall Public Schools.

💛 $175 sponsors a child for the entire year.
💛 Any amount helps.
💛 Together, we can fight food insecurity in our community.
