Focus On School, Not Hunger

Monticello Meals is a program created and run by Monticello High School students that sends bags of groceries home with children who are food insecure - that means their best meals usually come from the school.
Students meet with counselors at the schools to identify children in need, write letters requesting donations, and shop for the best prices at local stores. Each week, they purchase groceries to send home with as many as 16 children, prepare the grocery bags every Thursday night, and deliver them to Stone-Robinson and Woodbrook every Friday for the students to take home.
This program costs approximately $350 per student per year, and efforts are underway for the program to continue under future Monticello students even after the founders have moved on to college.
