About the Food4Kids program

  • ​​​The program provides food support to school students by sending home a bag of healthy snacks for the weekend.
  • The program started in 2013 serving 98 children and grew to more than 200 students in less than a year. More than 700 children are currently enrolled and more are regularly being added as funding allows.
  • The food is packed by volunteers and delivered to schools weekly.
  • Approximately 19,700 bags were packed and delivered during the 2018-2019 school year.
  • We are a 100% volunteer organization.
  • Any child in Head Start or any Marshall Public School student who wants extra food assistance for the weekend, with a parent or guardian’s consent, is eligible to participate in the program.

kid friendly foods, such as:

  • Granola bars
  • Cereal

  • Trail Mix​
