Dear Friends,
Do you know that childhood hunger exists in Port Chester? In fact, 72% of children attending our public schools are eligible for free and reduced breakfast and lunch. One in five children in our community lives at the poverty line or below. Many families’ needs go unreported.
The Food 2 Grow On program (F2GO), has been part of the solution for over 8 years. We have a simple goal: to combat childhood hunger in Port Chester. We are an interfaith, grass roots organization, under the auspices of the Port Chester-Rye Brook Rotary Club. We listened and heard that children were going hungry on weekends and holidays when school was not in session. Currently F2GO purchases, packs and distributes shopping bags of food to 210 eligible children in our local elementary schools each week to help eliminate weekend hunger.
Please consider joining our efforts to provide supplemental food packages for weekends, holidays and over the long summer vacation.
100% of all proceeds go directly to feeding Port Chester’s neediest children. There is no overhead.
Thank you for your caring, kindness and generosity.
Please make checks payable to: Port Chester-Rye Brook Rotary Club, F2GO and mail to:
