NOW Program

NOW Program The NOW program is a program that sends supplemental food home on weekends with a specific number of students in the Robinson School District.

The NOW Program (Nutrition On Weekends), located at the First United Methodist Church in Robinson, IL, provides supplemental food to a specific number of student within the Robinson school district. 100% of the donations go to the food program. The NOW program is very similar to the "backpack program" that many communities across the country have in place. The NOW program has been very well receiv

ed and supported by the Robinson community. As our monetary and food donations grow , the number of students we are able to serve will as well. During the summer months we also serve all of Crawford County with our free summer lunches and our Back to School shopping day! We have been blessed and we want to bless others.
