Children Healthy Eating on Weekends

 

The CHEW program assists children in our community by providing backpacks filled with child-friendly, easy to prepare meals over the weekend. This program provides a lifeline to those children who may otherwise go without food outside of a school setting. 

You can help provide food from the list below to help stock and maintain a supply of non-perishable food items. CHEW is now providing food for an average of 900 children each week. 

If you don't have time to go out and shop/donate, we have you covered. You can click on the Amazon Wish List.
