Weekend Meal Packs

About one-third of the children in the Hustiford and Dodgeland School Districts need a free or reduced lunch due to a lack of household income. For many of these children, school is their main source of food. 

Each week during the school year, The Gathering Source provides over 100 weekend meal packs for children whose main source of food is from school.  These meal packs include cereal, shelf-stable milk, two simple-to-prepare meals, one or two nutritious snacks, and fruit.

The meal packs are assembled by student volunteers every week and sent home with registered students for the weekend. To preserve a student’s dignity and privacy, recipients of the weekend meal packs remain confidential.
