“Thank you so much for the efforts put into this program! It helps relieve a heavy burden from the teachers because we know our students have food for the weekends. It helps me sleep a little easier knowing that my kids are going to bed with a full tummy. I thank you for that! Also, thank you for making the kids smile!”
Blue Ridge Elementary Teacher
