Have you ever gone a whole day without food? ...Two days?

Sadly, many children are going a weekend with little or no food when a school meal is not available. One child reported that on Friday he tried to eat as much of his friends’ leftovers at lunch as he could hold because he didn’t know if he would eat again until Monday morning. Children who are suffering from food insufficiency do not perform well academically, display unacceptable behavior, and have poor attendance due to illness or unexcused absences.

Morris Rotary, Rotaract and We Care provide nutritious, easy-to-prepare foods in their backpacks on Friday afternoons to ensure the children have something to eat until they return to school on Monday.

Please donate monthly to deliver food to a child every week during the school year!
