Completely KIDS Provides Weekend Food Program
Years ago, Completely KIDS saw a connection between a child’s hunger and his or her success in school. That’s why we created our Weekend Food Program. Entering its 18th year, each week, this program serves 865 KIDS, up 30% from this time last year. The need has grown, as has the expense to provide this vital program. Due to the rise in food prices, each food bag now costs $15 to make.
Why it matters
- Over 18% of KIDS in Nebraska live in food insecure homes. (NoKidHungry.org)
- In Nebraska, 188,080 people are facing hunger – 64,190 are kids. (FeedingAmerica.org)
We simply could not provide Weekend Food to our KIDS without our amazing volunteers – 1045 for this program alone, including 26 corporate teams that pitch in to help. We are most grateful and so are our KIDS.
