What impact does this program have on the students?
We are trying to feed kids. When a child is fed over the weekend, he can come to school on Monday ready to learn. When a child is fed over the weekend, she will be able to focus in class during the week and not worry about the weekend.
How can my PTA get involved?
PTAs can discuss the program at their meetings, even talk about it over the summer. Please consider including Milford Food 2 Kids in your budget so that you can be a part of the solution to solve hunger among the kids at your own school. Ask us about Coin Drives!!! And we would like to visit a PTA meeting at your school and tell you about the program. We are grateful for Mathewson School, Orchard Hill Elementary and Pumpkin Delight Elementary who held Coin Drives raising funds to support children in their schools and others
