For the Kids

For The Kids is about helping the underprivileged kids in our back yard. Once a week we deliver bags of food to inner city schools here in Salt Lake, the teachers put the bags in their backpack as they head home for the weekend. They come back to school with full stomachs, ready to learn and start the week off right. In talking with the school administration about these kids, the word trauma comes up frequently. ​ We cannot fix their situations, or solve their problems. However we can make sure they are not hungry. We can let them know that others care and think about them. The food we provide helps with their immediate needs. The mentoring and development we do with the school provides opportunities for a better future. It takes many hands to make this happen. We need help from generous people. Every week 2400 items leave our shelves. For the Kids is constantly replenishing those items. It takes time to sort the food into individual bags and to deliver them to the classrooms.
