ForK - For Kids
Hunger doesn't end on Friday. ForK is dedicated to helping families fill the weekend gap when in-school meals are not available by providing healthy, nourishing foods on a weekly basis.
Food items offered include: • Fruit • Granola Bars • Oatmeal • Tomato Soup • Chicken Noodle Soup • Chicken and Rice Soup • Beef Vegetable Soup • Spaghetti & Meatballs • Macaroni & Cheese • Tuna • Chicken • Corn • Green Beans • Peas • Raisins • Popcorn • Pretzels
ForK was founded in Manassas, Virginia to help schools reach local children who do not have enough to eat on the weekend. We deliver food items to participating schools and, each Friday, teachers or counselors discretely place that food in the backpacks of children who need it. Every effort is made to ensure that the program is operated in a manner that promotes respect for the children and families served. We work closely with local schools to reach the children and families in greatest need. Targeted schools are either not currently serviced by other weekend food organizations, overlooked because of the overall socio-economic status of the area around the school, or in need of greater assistance.
Donate Just $5 per week provides a child with nourishing food for the weekend. A donation of $260 will feed a local child every weekend for a year.
