Batavia club donates $825 to Feed the Kids Project
Batavia Mother's Club Foundation donated $825 to the Humanitarian Service Project's Feed the Kids Project. Feed the Kids in June, July and August each year to help feed families with 250 pounds of food for each month.
Inside each box for Feed the Kids is fresh fruits and vegetables, at least four boxes of non-perishable foods, large loaves of bread and a variety of meats. Feed the Kids started in 2004 and has grown ever since to help more families.
“The Batavia Mother's Club Foundation dedication to improving lives of kids is amazing. We are so grateful to have them support our projects and help kids as their goal,” said Karole Kettering, Executive Director of the Humanitarian Service Project.
The Feed the Kids Project fills the nutrition gap for low- income children when school is out for the summer. These children, who receive the majority of their daily nutrients from federally subsidized meals at school through the School Breakfast Program and National Lunch Program, experience a drastic reduction in nutrition during the summer months and often go hungry. By providing their families with a total of 750 pounds of food in June, July, and August, the Feed the Kids Project is able to relieve the hunger and stress that these needy children face. Each food package contains nutritious, vitamin-rich foods - 9 varieties of fresh vegetables, 9 selections of fresh fruits, 7 selections of frozen meats, at least four 25-pound boxes of non-perishables, and child-friendly healthy snacks.
Batavia's Mother's Club has been helping HSP with Feed the Kids for the past two years. They donate to local charities and schools who help improve the life of children, improve literacy and education according to their website. They donate and work with other charities to help reach their goal.
