Feed Children and Help Team #1
Donation protected
Did you know 1 in 3 children in Forsyth County are food insecure?
Did you know 55% of children in Forsyth County are on free or reduced lunch at school?
Our consulting team (including Andrew Rodriguez, Art Hailey, Josh Ramos, Natalie Sherman, and Sydney Sfreddo) at Wake Forest University School of Business needs your help.
We are currently partnering with the Winston Salem branch of Feeding America and raising money for their backpack program.
How can a child focus on solving a math problem or memorizing a new word when she or he is trying to ignore the persistent pangs of hunger?
Across the country, teachers and school nurses have found that in some instances, Monday morning comes and they are forced to compete against hunger for the attention of their students. More than 18 million children qualify for free or reduced price meals through the National School Lunch Program, the fuel that they need to get them through the week. What happens to these children when they go home over the weekend?
For more than 15 years, the Feeding America BackPack Program has been helping children get the nutritious and easy-to-prepare food they need over the course of the weekend. Today, bags of food assembled at more than 150 local food banks are distributed at the end of the week to nearly 230,000 children every year. With your help, we can provide more.
The Feeding America BackPack program is changing the lives of families in need.
Our team is currently in competition to raise the most money for this project. Any size donation is very appreciated!
Thank you all!
