Food Drives
We send out roughly 1,300 sack suppers per day here at KFB
so we are ALWAYS in need of food. Especially juice boxes, peanut butter,
sandwich baggies (zip-loc and fold tops), and our 8lb or Xtra-large lunch
bags that we put the sack suppers in.
Trail Mix Project
This is a great "start to finish" project for any group. It
starts your group at the process of collecting the food needed for the project
and takes you through the mixing and packing it for the children to
receive it in their sack suppers. Your group will see how much food it takes
to feed the children in need and the effort that is associated with this mission.
Change Drives
It costs approximately 61 cents a day to feed a child with
our sack supper. For Just over $100 you can feed a child for an entire school
year! When groups collect change it really adds up to help feed our kids. We
can purchase some of the food we use in our sack suppers at Second Harvest
Gleaners for only .15 cents a pound!
Collecting and Decorating Bags
Each sack supper goes out in a large
paper lunch sack. The need for sacks is great. We use 8lb or Extra Large
lunch bags. When the kids who receive the sack suppers see the decorated
sacks it makes their day! We have all ages constantly collecting and
decorating bags for the kids we serve. They need to be colorful and
appropriate for Pre-school through 5th grade Public School children.
