We want to wipe out hunger in our community starting with meal at a time.
Help us fill the cabinets to overflowing.
Supporting Schools Ministry feeds children in our community that their teachers have identified as hungry. These children come to school on Mondays not having had a proper meal over the weekend. The foods they receive from you get them through the weekend.
We partner with a local non profit called Artos that works to support and care for the education staff across the Yakima Valley. We meet once a month during the school year to assemble good bags and treats to pass out to over 500 hundred education staff across all of the various schools. We are trying to bring that number up to 1200 by next year! Anyone is welcome to join!
Donations of the following items are currently needed:
– Boxes/Bags of cereal (Dollar Store box size is perfect)
– Cans of ravioli or Spaghetti O’s
– Cans/Packets of Tuna
– Ramen Noodles
– Fruit Snacks
– Cans of fruit / veggies
– Apple Sauce Cups
– Pudding Cups
– Microwave Popcorn
– Granola Bars
– Rice Krispy Treats (individually packaged)
Items are carried home in backpacks by young children. Please no glass jars or large items.

“recycle” them here!
