There’s a Brooklyn in your area. While Brooklyn’s classmates excitedly discuss weekend plans, she worries about having a grumbling stomach over the weekend. Watch the video below to learn more about Brooklyn’s story.
Hunger affects over 300,000 Minnesota children, including students in schools near you. From Friday afternoon to Monday morning, these children go without the reliable school meals that sustain them. For families who are already struggling to get by, bridging this gap can be impossible. Thankfully, caring community members like you understand this urgent need.
💬 “Nutrition is very important for kids to learn. So many families struggle to keep food in their homes for their children. If this food bag helps even a little, it is so worth it.” – A Southwest MN Teacher
When children lack consistent access to food, it can negatively impact their ability to learn, their emotional well-being, and their physical health. As a donor, you provide more than just food; your donation provides children with:
- Peace of mind so they focus on being kids instead of worrying about their next meal
- Nutrition that fuels their growing bodies and developing brains
- Belonging with their friends and in the classroom
