What it reported doing in 2024

The school programs include the weekend food bags program, the school supplies program, the christmas blessing, and a partnership with communities in schools. These programs provide food supply to children who have been identified as being food insecure as well as school supplies and christmas gifts to many of the same families. The organization served 1,500 students at up to eighteen misd elementary schools with food bags that were delivered every thursday during the school year as well as 1,400 mini food bags provided to teen students at middle school and high school campuses each month through our partnership with communities in schools. An additional 1,200 students were helped with school supply needs and 1,200 children were blessed at the christmas event.

The verdict
