“Food 4 Kids”
Program Seeks Help
Dear Community family,
This will be the third
year we participate in the
“Food 4 Kids” program. We
have 32 children in our pro-
gram. Please help us pro-
vide much needed food for
these children. Elementary
Nurse Sheley Smith states,
“The children look forward
to their Friday bags.”
The Food 4 Kids program
provides kid-friendly, self-
serve food for the weekend
to those elementary school
children most at risk of
going hungry over the
weekend. Some kids look
forward to the weekend.
For others, the weekends
are a time when they go
hungry. The hot meals at
school are the only filling
meals that some children
get.

nutrition and calories for
chronically hungry school
