Food 2 Kids Big Spring had a great summer distributing our food sacks throughout the community. We delivered 1,632 food sacks to four low-income apartment complexes and four nonprofits that work with children during the summer. At the annual back-to-school event "Head to Toe" (above photo) we gave out approximately 300 food sacks to school-age children and provided information about the Food 2 Kids program and how it operates during the school year. We hope that any child in need of a weekend food sack during the school year will go home with one of our food sacks every Friday. Please contact us if you know a child in need of a weekend food sack. The reality is many students eat the school-provided breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday while at school and then the child may live in a food insecure home and not have much to eat over the weekend. Our weekend food sacks provide four meals for an elementary-age child. By providing a growing child with a weekend food sack we are helping their physical, cognitive, and behavioral health.
