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.

“Blessings is the best part about Fridays!” 🎉

There’s no better feeling than knowing kids are heading into the weekend with food they can count on.

What’s in a weekend bag? A whole lot more than food.

It’s peace of mind.
It’s a brighter Monday.
It’s a kid knowing they matter.

That’s the power of a hunger-free weekend—and it all starts with you. Join us in feeding kids this weekend!
