Every day, we work to provide our community’s children the nourishment they need to grow, learn and thrive. For elementary students, we supply BackSnacks in partnership with Harvesters. In middle and high schools, we stock Pantries with ready-to-eat food and snacks. And we serve entire families with our Community Food Kits, which feature non-perishable staples, fresh produce and ground beef. Your support helps the 1 in 8 food-insecure kids here in Clay and Platte Counties get the nutrition they need to reach their full potential.
