Harvest Foundation staff, as well as the director and participants of MARC Workshop gathered today to assist the Food for Kids program - an initiative of Community Storehouse - to fill backpacks. The Food for Kids program makes a difference in the lives of impoverished children by providing kids identified by teachers, counselors, and school nurses with discrete backpacks, filled with nutritious, child-friendly foods to utilize on weekends and holidays, when other resources - such as school breakfast and lunch programs - aren't available. The program is designed to meet the needs of children who rely on these resources as their only, or only reliable, source of food.
Every week, over 800 bags of food go out to impoverished youth in Martinsville and Henry County who rely on the nutrition they provide. Community Storehouse would like to thank the Harvest Foundation and MARC Workshop for their involvement with accomplishing this worthwhile task.
