All students we serve are vetted by teachers and school counselors first, so we&#8217;re always able to help the children who need it most.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image content-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" class=\"wp-image-213988\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/iStock-483723283_res.jpg\" alt=\"Feeding Hungry Children in Iredell County, North Carolina\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodfordays.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/iStock-483723283_res.jpg 800w, https:\/\/foodfordays.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/iStock-483723283_res-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foodfordays.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/iStock-483723283_res-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When it comes to <strong>feeding hungry children<\/strong>, we stick to a simple and discreet process. We collect and purchase food, distribute it in backpacks, and deliver them to the schools every Thursday. Then, on Friday, every student in need is given a backpack that includes two breakfasts, two lunches, and two dinners, as well as snacks and drinks, so they don&#8217;t go hungry over the weekend. We welcome everyone from local churches and businesses to sports teams and individuals to get involved with our organization and help us make a real difference in our local community!<\/p>\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p><em>At Food For Days, we focus on <strong>feeding hungry children<\/strong> in <strong><a href=\"\/food-program-for-children\/feeding-hungry-children\/\">Iredell County<\/a><\/strong>, including Mooresville, Davidson, Troutman, Statesville, Harmony, Huntersville, and China Grove, North Carolina.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3>Similar Services We Offer:<\/h3>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re feeding hungry children one backpack at a time.
