Weekend Food Bags
Many of the students in our local schools struggle with food insecurity. Our schools currently offer free lunch and breakfast to ALL students, but this still leaves some students wondering what they will eat over weekends and holidays.
Neighborhood Bridges is looking to bridge the gap for these students. We currently have approximately 100 students who would benefit from receiving some support in this area.
We are looking to provide individually packaged items that are ready to eat or easily prepared. You can help by donating any of the following items:
Individual cereal boxes/cups
