Weekend Food Program
Fighting Childhood Hunger
Thousands of children in Midland County are at risk of not knowing where their next meal will come from. Across the country, nearly 1 in 5 children faces food insecurity—and hunger exists in every community.
food bags distributed weekly
Childhood hunger doesn’t just occur in third world countries. It exists in your neighborhood.
We often say, “today’s children are the future leaders of our community.” But how can they become leaders and be successful when they are weighed down with the burden of hunger? If they can’t even eat, how can they focus on school, grades, and social skills? There are kids that go home for the weekend not knowing when their next meal will be.
Would you like to join us in making a difference in our community and beyond?
Every Wednesday, we deliver food bags to 1,600 students. Each bag contains a weekend’s worth of kid-friendly food and are discreetly given to the kids every Friday.
We partner with 16 MISD elementary campuses.
