Food for thought…
Recently a student in foster care found comfort in an unexpected place - educational cookie snacks.
The boy was having a rough start to his day and decided to eat his snack while completing math work with his intervention specialist. After eating his cookies, he felt he could better concentrate and fuel through his day. After learning this, our food bank partners asked us, “do you think we can find him some extra cookies?”
You got it – and with that, a whole case was on its way. Food for thought and just one small way we help our partners make a difference one child at a time.
