Nutrition is essential for a student’s ability to concentrate and excel in class; a common flaw is failing to acknowledge how food and nutrition is a basic need that isn’t being adequately provided to all students who need it. Whether you need long-term assistance or short-term assistance, below are reliable organizations who provide nutritious food including meats, fruits, vegetables, and more--for every family deserves sufficient and full meals.
Gives recipients two weeks' worth of food (and diapers if needed). If transportation is an issue, the Food Bank also offers drop-offs to any location you stay in via their Groceries to Go program. The Food Bank also distributes free or low-cost resources including clothing, power packs (nutritious food for children), school supplies, dental care, and holiday gift cards.
