Weekend food bags for local students in need
Food for Thought (FFT) is Big Reach Center of Hope’s weekend food program supporting over 300 students per week in our surrounding districts. Through a partnership with local schools and student volunteers, we package food bags for students needing additional nutritional support over the weekends. In recent years, many schools have found a need to start their own pantries. We have also teamed up with these districts in providing additional product to support their pantries.
