My Nonprofit Reviews

I am the counselor and I am so glad that we have this program. Some of our students would not have any food on the weekends without this program. I have a student that comes in everyday to make sure she will get a food bag that week. One day she came in and I could hear her stomach growling. I asked her if she was sick or hungry. She told me she was hungry because she had been using her Friday bag as breakfast but had eaten all of it the day before so she was not able to eat until school lunch. I immediately gave her a new bag at which time she opened it and ate almost everything there. It was really heartbreaking. Of course we immediately put her on the free lunch program so that she could have lunch and breakfast during the week. A couple of days later she came in after breakfast and then again after lunch to ask me to keep part of her breakfast and lunch until after school. After about of week of this I asked her why she did not eat all of her breakfast and lunch. she explained to me that she needed to take part of it home to her younger sister so she would not be hungry. The children are not longer in the home and they both have full stomachs everyday.
