At EBFP Loretta Marion Presents $1000 Check to Executive Director, Nicki Tyska

 

Special thanks to those who purchased a copy of The Fool’s Truth during the month of November.

Profits from November book sales have been donated to support the important mission of East Bay Food Pantry.

This promotion raised enough funds to provide eight children with breakfast and lunch all summer in the EBFP Food-4-Kids program.

This truly was book selling for a great cause!

EBFP Food-4-Kids Program

Many low-income children receive free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch through the National School Lunch Program when they are going to school.  Often this program provides a major portion of the nutrients that the children receive.  But, what happens on weekends, school holidays, and over the summer?  Hunger is one of the most severe roadblocks to the learning process.  Lack of nutrition when school is out may set up a cycle for poor performance once school begins again.  Hunger may also make children more prone to illness and other health issues.  The Food4Kids Program is designed to fill the nutrition gap and make sure children can get the nutritious meals they need.  Over the summer this program provides families with food to make 5 nutritious breakfasts and lunches for their school-aged children each week.  And during the school year the program provides food to make breakfasts and lunches for each weekend, with additional food provided over school vacations.  In accordance with our Access Nutrition Initiative, the program focuses on nutritious foods such as eggs, milk, yogurt, whole grains, and fresh fruit.
