Rotary Food For Kids Program
The Rotary Club of Darien's "Food for Kids Program" provides nutritional meals to food-insecure school children on weekends during the school year. This program supplements the primary source of food for these students, which is often the school cafeteria.
Every Friday during the school year, the administrators of Lace, Mark Delay, Concord, Gower West, and Anne M Jeans Elementary Schools discretely place the bags of food into select children's backpacks, keeping the children anonymous from their peers.
The sack of food items sustains the children until they return to school Monday morning. This supports the child's nutritional, mental, and well-being needs, so they can focus on learning.
The success experienced by participants in this type of program is astonishing and can only realize its full potential from the continued support of Community, Corporations and Volunteers like YOU!!! The packing schedule for 2018-2019 is below. All events start at 5:30 PM at the gym in Lace School (7414 S. Cass Ave, Darien). We finish between 6:45 and 7:00 PM. Walk-ins are welcome:
- September 11, 2018
- October 16, 2018
- November 28, 2018
- January 9, 2019
- February 26, 2019
- April 4, 2019
100% of the funds received for this program go to the food we buy at Walmart and to maintain, at a minimum, a two-year support cycle for each recipient. Currently, our budget allows for supporting 195 children for the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 school years. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! We couldn't do this without the generous support from you - our sponsors.
