After School snacking

3/28/2022

 
Our Healthy Snack Program has been in full swing this school year - delivering fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (and organic popcorn on Fridays!) every day to all students in Kindergarten through 6th grade. The program has gotten a tremendous response from students and teachers alike! 
One unexpected result of the program was discovering another area of hunger that some students were experiencing. Several teachers had asked if there were any leftover snacks that they could give to students who needed after-school food support. A quick survey of teachers identified more students who would benefit from regular after-school food options, so we quickly created a take-home snack opportunity. We are now distributing over 30 bags a day of healthy snack items to students (and their younger siblings) who need additional nutrition support after school.
