2024 Feeding Kids Cleveland County School Break Boxes and Weekend Bags
For many Cleveland County children, the breakfast and lunch they eat at school is the only food they can depend on each day. We want to make sure that they still have nutritious food every weekend and school break when those meals are not available. Social workers at individual schools identify which children are in need of weekend backpacks and school break deliveries.
When students are away from school for extended periods of time, those dependable school meals go away as well. FKCC volunteers work hard to collect, package and deliver food directly to kids to keep their bellies full over those breaks. This is one of our favorite activities because we actually get to visit our families and spend time showing these kids that they matter to their community. All kinds of groups and organizations host food drives to provide food for these boxes.
