Overview
Mission
Our goal is to fight hunger by providing supplemental food and infant food and care items to Isabella County families in need with dignity and equity.
What it reported doing in 2024
The organization partners with local schools to deliver bags of food to young sudents to help with their food needs over weekends. Nutrition club is provided in conjunction with eleven elementary schools in isabella county. The bags of week-end foods go home with children that qualify for the federal lunch program. Twice per month, bags are packed in advance by volunteers with the items purchased from greater lansing food bank in lansing, mi. The supplemental food is then delivered to the various schools and handed out by the classroom teacher. These nutrition club bags contain single serve items and foods that can be easily prepared by young children who might be left to manage their weekend meals themselves. In preparation for longer school vacation breaks, the bags are often packed with full jars of peanut butter and entire loaves of bread in addition to the usual items. In 2024 ccn distributed 7,918 food bags or 47,304 pounds of food to local children.
