Sometimes, it’s the simplest things that matter most.

A bag of food tucked into a backpack means the weekend feels a little more secure. It means something to count on. It means walking back into school on Monday nourished and ready to learn.

Thank you for helping make hunger-free weekends possible for so many children.
