express

 

Children’s Express works to ensure that children of our area do not go hungry. The program provides a bag of healthy food to elementary school children on weekends throughout the school year.

Volunteers with Children’s Express work with donations, pack food bags, and deliver donations to the schools where they are distributed.

The program began in 2013 as a summer and holiday food program. Jefferson Elementary was the pilot location, expanding to eight schools by 2015. Ongoing concerns of teachers for their students prompted the development of the weekend program, which launched in February 2016.
