mission · from form 990

Alleviate food insecurity amongst elementary school children and promote healthy nutritional and lifestyle habits. Specifically, we distribute backpacks of shelf-stable, ready-to-eat food to elementary school children over the weekend period when they are out of school in cities such as, but not limited to, New York and Los Angeles. We purchase grocery items for distribution to disadvantaged parents of elementary school children served by the backpack program, and also provide nutritious restaurant meals to the schoolchildren, as a monthly community building activity. We identify communities of need and provide food to families with children in these areas.

  • Weekend Food Security for Children

    By providing weekend food packs to elementary school children and groceries to parents, we ensure consistent nutrition during weekends when school meals are unavailable, because family-level food support increases household stability and child health outcomes.
