Weekend Feeding Program

In Washington County, PA 6% of school students do not eat outside of school hours. When they finally arrive at school on Monday morning they are hungry and are not able to live up to the potential that every student has. We at California United Methodist Church have taken up the cause of feeding these children.  Within California Elementary School we provide weekend meals to any child in need, last school year we provided 60 students with enough food for the weekend, every weekend. In the upcoming school year we anticipate providing for 100 students. Through area partnerships we are able to provide these items for 1.57 per student per weekend! Any and all donations are helpful and will be used to fund our program. By reaching our campaign goals it will ensure that hungry children will have enough to eat outside of school hours.
