Kids' Food Basket attacks childhood hunger by providing 2,600 nutritious, fresh sack suppers to kids every day. Sack suppers fill a gap schools and parents often can't afford, in a way that's accessible to kids. They are distributed in classrooms to kids who receive breakfast and lunch through Federal programs. All of the school we serve have 80% or more of the student population receiving free or reduced lunches. (We are not federally funded; our revenue comes exclusively from community members, foundations, businesses, and corporations like Pepsi.) Without our meals, kids would only eat half of the 2,000 calories needed to grow.
A sack supper includes a serving each of fresh fruit and fresh vegetable, a sandwich, 100% fruit juice box and healthy snacks. Some of the vegetables our kids like include carrots, tomatoes and cucumbers. Fruits our kids eat might include bananas, apples, berries, or pears.
To make this vital need a refreshing reality for hungry kids in West Michigan, we need your vote. You can vote via text message by sending 101423 to 73774 AND online at refresheverything.com AND on Facebook through the Pepsi Refresh Application...One vote per method, per day
Thanks for your support, West Michigan!
