Rotary Club sponsors
Food 2 Kids Program
The Banks County Rotary Club is sponsoring the Food 2
Kids Program in the county school system.
“School isn’t just a place for learning,” organizers state. “For
some of our most impoverished kids, it’s also the only reliable
source of food in their lives. The sad truth is that from Friday
afternoon until they return to school on Monday morning,
some of these children may not know if or how much they’ll
get to eat.”
Food 2 Kids is a program that helps bridge that gap for
some of the community’s neediest kids. Sacks of kid-friendly
food—enough for at least six meals—are handed out every
week to children identified by school teachers, counselors
and officials as being most in need. The disposable sacks will
have approximately seven to 10 pounds of food—enough for
two days of meals. The food is in easy-to-open packaging and
doesn’t require any cooking.
To donate or for more information, contact Sallie Hensley
at 706-713-0730.
