When we launched our second annual Snacks for Schools campaign in August 2021, we had no idea how much traction it would get.
On top of the extensive generosity of our customers and team members, we received a call from Treehouse Foods asking if we would accept 400+ pounds of snacks! No less than a week later, we were notified that Post Consumer Brands wanted to contribute one full pallet of non-perishables to the campaign benefitting 360 Communities. The most exciting part is we’ll be donating $1 for every pound of food.
We’ve been partnering with 360 communities for the last several years to support their mission of delivering safety and stability to families and individuals our community. Food insecurity is much more prevalent than most of us realize. One place it’s easy to be overlooked is in our schools. No child should have to wake up wondering where their next meal is coming from. We are fortunate to have both a generous community and the resources that allow us to do something about this.
“Honestly, there are days when students arrive at my office asking for a snack and it turns out to be the ice breaker for sharing and getting support about something going wrong in their day.” – Community teacher
“With many students facing food insecurity, it’s a huge gift to be able to offer a daily snack to those in need! That extra nutrition helps them get through their day, focus on learning, and shine brighter at school!” –360 Communities Member
We are floored at the generosity in our community and are excited to announce that we donated a record-breaking 1,464 pounds + $1,464 to 360 Communities this year!
