Project Description Country: USA Location: Phoenix Arizona Total Budget: $5,000 Area of Focus: Maternal and child health Activity Type: Food/Agriculture: Volunteer Services Summary: Provide 685 units of food to 'food insecure' children in the Paradise Valley School District, Phoenix AZ Title one students in PV School District receive free lunches through the school week, but not on weekends. Many of these students are food insecure and come to school on Mondays hungry, which affects their performance. School staff identify kids needing food help and volunteers from Paradise Valley Community Food Bank pack and deliver the food bags to schools every Friday throughout the school year (32 weeks). Paradise Valley Rotary Club, in an alliance with the PV Food Bank and PV School District, will purchase, with the matching grant, 685 units of food and deliver to schools. Each unit of food costs $7.30. Food items need to be non-refrigerated, child friendly, nutritious, single serve breakfast/lunch products. This program receives no government funds or subsidies. The goal is to improve kids performance at school, by combatting food insecurity.
