Organizations Filed Purposes: THE PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE OF THE ORGANIZATION IS TO ACCEPT DONATIONS WHICH WILL BE DISTRIBUTED IN NORTHEAST INDIANA FOR THE PURPOSE OF CHANNELING FOOD AND FEEDING HUNGRY SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN.

PROVIDE NUTRITIOUS FOOD TO CHILDREN THROUGH SCHOOLS IN THE FORT WAYNE COMMUNITY IN A THIRTY-FIVE WEEK PERIOD, INCREASING THE NUMBER OF BACKPACKS PROVIDED BY REACHING AN ADDITIONAL 7% WEEKLY. OUR GOAL IS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS SERVED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, WHICH WAS CHALLENGING TO MEET IN 2020. THE INFLUX OF STUDENTS WITH REMOTE AND ON SITE LEARNING PRESENTED ADDITIONAL CHALLENGES IN 2020. WE MET THOSE CHALLENGES BY OFFERING A PICK UP LOCATION AT EACH SCHOOL TO PRESENT PRE-PACKED FOOD TO THOSE WHO WERE IN NEED. WE ALSO HAD TO FIND MORE SUPPLIERS AS SOME OF THE NORMAL FOOD WE ORDERED COULD NOT BE PRODUCED. WE ARE PROUD OF OUT OF THE BOX THINKING FOR FUNDRAISING AND LOOK FORWARD TO INCREASING OUR NUMBERS IN 2021.
