​We would like to know how the Marshall Food4Kids weekend snack program is working for you. Please take the time to provide your feedback. This survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete. All responses are anonymous and your honest feedback is much appreciated.

About the Marshall Food4Kids program
Marshall Food4Kids is open to any student in Head Start or Marshall Public School (preschool through 8th grade) who needs extra food assistance for the weekend. With a parent or guardian’s consent, the program sends home a bag of healthy snacks for the weekend. Bags are distributed on the last school day before the weekend or break. This is not a government program; all food is paid for by donations from individuals, churches, businesses and foundations. If you believe your child would benefit from this program, please ask your child’s teacher for a consent form.

Research has shown that a lack of food can affect children physically, mentally and emotionally. These children get sick more often, test lower in math and reading and can experience anxiety and depression.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 17 million children live in households struggling to put enough food on the table. This includes many families in Marshall. Of Marshall students, 46% are eligible for free or reduced price lunches through the National School Lunch Program.

The National School Lunch Program helps out during the week,
but what about when students go home for the weekend? We bridge this gap by sending home a bag of nutritious snacks with students.

“My child has enjoyed the ability to receive some of her favorite snacks and try what may become some new favorites. While I watched her go through her bag, I was reminded of how she went through her Christmas stocking! This program is wonderful in our eyes. Thank you to all who make it happen. We wouldn’t change a thing.” - Parent
