Providing a bag of meals every weekend during the school year for food-insecure children in seven Bedford County schools: Bedford Elementary,
Bedford Primary, Goodview, Huddleston, Moneta, Montvale, and Stewartsville.
Volunteers at a recent volunteer breakfast.
Volunteers pack one or two items in every bag, then pass it to the next person in order to expedite packing 700+ bags every Thursday morning for the school year.
Once the bags are packed they are stapled closed to make it easier for the children to carry.
Packed bags are delivered weekly to the schools by volunteers, who are scheduled on a monthly rotation.
By the end of the 2024-2025 school year (September – May) we packed over 18,000 bags for food-insecure children in Bedford County .
And we recycle , filling a pick up truck with cardboard every packing day!
Once a month, we have a food delivery to fill each bag with things like soup, mac and cheese, and juice
boxes, enough for 700 bags, once a week every week of the school year.
