thank you for everything you do

"This program is such a great benefit to our family. During the summer months a generous volunteer came to our home and gave us groceries for the week. We would get a carton of milk and meat and produce, it meant we would have dinner for 2 days. It was such a tremendous blessing and really would help us out. During the school year my child gets a bag once a week delivered to her school. These weekly bags give a breakfast, fruits and snacks for the weekend. When you are a struggling family and find yourself on the poverty line times can be difficult. The support from Food4Kids has been a tremendous help. Thank you for everything you do."

there was often no food in the home

"A student came into my office and seemed embarassed to tell me there was no food in the home and was hungry. I soon learned his father was diagnosed with ALS and his mother left work to care for her husband. Their two income household was reduced to one disability pension. With added medical expenses, there was often no food in the home. Once he began receiving Food4Kids backpacks each weekend, he was less anxious about when he might get to eat again.
I contribute a lot of his success to this fine program, for helping this child to excel. His grades have improved, his behavior is better and appears so much happier. Thank you for your support in helping this child and his family."

addressing poverty at its very core

"Many children have hard-working parents doing their best to provide for their kids, but even with a full time job, they struggle to feed their families. Hunger is a real problem in our community. I believe Food4Kids is a program that addresses poverty at its very core."
