Food 4 Kids
Charleston, Illinois Elementary Schools currently report 56% of students eligible for Free and Reduced Lunch. Many children report only eating breakfast & lunch daily at school.
The Food 4 Kids Backpack Program provides children at risk of hunger with bags of food they can take home and easily prepare on their own.
Please help us meet our goal of raising $15,000 to partially support our
Food 4 Kids Backpack Program
With this program we will be able to serve
25 students per grade level in Grades K-6.
This is 175 students across all 3 Charleston Elementary Schools!!
One $90 donation supports a student for half a school year
Good nutrition is critical to good health and success at school. Children who do not receive enough to eat often experience:
-Difficulty with concentration
-Lower Math and English scores
-Difficulty with peer relationships
-Lower graduation rates
The Charleston Joint PTA and Charleston Elementary Schools have partnered up to provide snack foods and small meals for children to supplement weekend meals. Volunteers pack and deliver kid-friendly food to schools. Teachers and school staff discreetly distribute backpacks on Fridays and before school breaks.
Please sponsor our local Food 4 Kids Backpack Program today!
