Kid's Food Basket Fundraiser

To kick off our service project, an employee of Kid's Food Basket spoke to the class on Friday about how they can make a difference and help stop childhood hunger.  We learned that Kid's Food Basket serves 6,000 kids a day in the Grand Rapids area.  Also, 25,000 baggies are used EVERYDAY to pack the sack suppers.  On Friday, students decorated a sack supper bag. They have now officially become Kid's Food Basket volunteers.  As a class, we set a goal to collect 68 boxes of snack size zip-lock bags by Friday, February 5.  This is a lofty goal, but I know we can do it.  There is no pressure to donate, but I did hear that Meijer is having a 10 for $10 sale on baggies.  I was so impressed with the students' deserve to serve and help others in need.  They have such great, big hearts!!!  If you would like to learn more about Kid's Food Basket, check out the link below.
