Food insecurity can affect many families due to a variety of circumstances, like rising rent prices, job loss, medical bills, and others.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Putting an end to childhood hunger, one backpack at a time!<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YdDqWntyV8U?rel=0&amp;wmode=opaque\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>How Does Our Organization Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We partner with local businesses, churches, and organizations to purchase and collect food. We then distribute this food and put it in backpacks \u2013 each one includes two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners, snacks, and drinks. After putting the bags together, we drop them off at local schools, and they are given to students on Friday afternoon before they leave for the day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sister\">\n<h3>Easy Ways You Can Donate to Children\u2019s Charities<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to charitable contributions, there are so many options to consider! So many of them are deserving&#8211; children\u2019s charities especially. If you have been wanting to help your community, children\u2019s charities are a great place to start. Many children\u2019s charities, like us here at Food For Days, want to put as much into the hands of the affected children as possible, so we like to help make donations as versatile as possible for those who are generous enough to donate to us. Here are a few easy ways you can donate to charities like ours.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Donate Supplies.\u00a0<\/strong>At Food For Days, we need a steady stream of supplies to help the kids in our own community have necessary food over the weekend, when they aren\u2019t able to access school meals. With supplies of food, we are able to provide them with the nutrition they need.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make Monetary Donations.\u00a0<\/strong>While we love food donations, we are able to purchase food as well! We make sure that your monetary donations are spent on the children. Continuous donations are extremely helpful in bridging the gaps between donations and necessary items to create balanced nutrition.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Donate Your Time.\u00a0<\/strong>Even if you don\u2019t have a lot of money or food to donate, we would love to have you help with your time! Those who volunteer their time are doing such a great service, and we understand and appreciate how valuable your time is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To learn more about how you can help our children\u2019s charity, please contact us here at Food For Days today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>How Can You Get Involved?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We realize there are many <strong>children&#8217;s charities<\/strong> in the area you can work with, but we encourage you to get involved with our organization because you can instantly start making a difference. For example, host a local food drive, collect items of the month, host a fundraising event, or simply become a donor.
