Impact and Programs
Accomplishments
(1) Increasing our impact through food program expansion: reached 3,900 children (previous year 2,200), distributing 109,191 bags (previous year 56,000) containing over 418,000 meals (previous year 208,000). (2) Ensuring our food program has a positive impact in the children’s lives: 94% of families responding to our survey reported their children were more prepared for school as a result of our program while 99% said their families were better supported. (3) Developing relationships and partnerships between the schools and the community: not yet measurable with data.
