Park Avenue School - BackPack Program Fundraiser
More than 80,000 Maine children qualify for free or reduced price meals through the National School Lunch Program. These meals are the fuel they need to get them through the week. What happens to these children when they go home over the weekend?
The Park Avenue School BackPack Program will be able to provide students at Park Avenue school in Auburn who are suffering the effects of chronic hunger with nutritious, easy-to-prepare food to eat during weekends and school vacations when those crucial school meals are unavailable.
For just $250 a year per student, Good Shepherd Food Bank is able to provide at least one source of grain, fruit, vegetable, and protein through a variety of staple meal items, breakfast foods, and healthy snacks in discreet, resealable bags.
Please support the Park Avenue School BackPack Program today.
Any size donation is greatly appreciated.
If you would prefer to send a check, please make it out to Good Shepherd Food Bank and write Park Avenue School BackPack Program in the memo line. Mail to:
