We partner with Coweta school counselors to identify children that are at risk of not having enough food or other needs that we might be able to assist with.

Then throughout the school year, we prepare a weekly snack pack for the identified kids to take home on Fridays to help them through the weekend until they return to normal school lunches during the week.

During this troubled economic time, both the number of kids in need and the cost of preparing these packages has greatly increased.

The price per package has risen to over $3.50 per package. We currently supply packs for more than 279 children totaling more than $700 per week.

Both the number of kids and the cost of snack packages are expected to rise even more throughout this year. Projected need suggests that by this upcoming school year, we will begin with around 300 bags!

Because of these dramatic increases, we are reaching out to ask for help from the community to help fund this important ministry.

All donations are spent directly on goods to bless the children. All of our volunteers give of their time freely.  So, 100% of every dollar is used on purchasing goods for the children.

Donations can be made through clicking on the DONATE button at the bottom of each page or can be mailed in. 

Donations are tax deductible through Ridge Christian Church,  just put a note on the check memo line of your check to “Coweta Food For Kids”.
