By providing a Powersack to each child in the school each week, we hope to assure that no child goes hungry over the weekend. During the school year, we provide each student with a PowerSack to take home every weekend. Each PowerSack has 9-13 items, enough to feed a family of four two meals. FFT targets schools where 90% or more of the students are eligible for free and reduced lunch programs (income of family of four is less than $29K/per year to qualify). Because we give every student a PowerSack, many of the barriers that traditionally interfere with distribution are removed. We encourage community tables and food pantries the schools we serve to help make sure that no food is wasted and those who need food the most have access to extra or unwanted items. Volunteers are the heart and soul of Food For Thought. Each week, more than 100 volunteers help pick-up, pack and deliver PowerSacks to the children we serve. FFT provides PowerSacks for elementary school children and a discreet food pantry at South High School. FFT is a 100% volunteer program. Pt VI, Line 6 Question 6.
