Food Saks 4 Kids - What's in the bag?

In our previous blog article:  Food Saks 4 Kids is a program from a local school here in Stanley, NC.  The food is distributed to chosen children on Friday afternoons.  The Saks are placed into the child's back pack.  These goodies are so children can get proper, healthy and adequate food on the weekends when school is out.

Here are some suggestions for saks below.  Keep in mind, this is what I personally do, so you can gather your own ideas as well.  It's quite fun to put together!  We generally spread $25.00 into (5) Food Saks.   This could help out 5 children in (1) weekend or (1) child for a month.  

What's needed in EACH Food Sak are quick and easy items, an elementry aged child can prepare on his/her own.

3 Dinners, 2 Breakfasts, 2 Lunches, a few drinks and snacks.   Be sure to brush!
Suggestions: 

2ea - Noodles, soups, ramen
1- Ravioli's
1- Spagetti & Meatballs, Canned Saugages, Chef Borardee' items
2 packs - Oatmeal
2 packs - Grits
1 - Mac N' Cheese (cup or box)
1 - Applesauce
1 - Fruit cup
1 - Pudding Cups
2ea - Capri Suns, juice boxes
2 - Swiss Miss
1 - Crackers, PopTart

As you know, youngsters are picky eaters: so these suggestions are meant to be healthy, yet fun for the child too.   Hope you can help out in your own way!   Questions?  Just contact our office 1-704-263-8845.

Food Is For Year Round

Food Saks 4 Kids  - December

One of Dr. Ronald M. Cox, DDS favorite ways to help the community is with a program called "FOOD SAKS 4 KIDS."   Every month, Dr. Ronald M. Cox gathers items for (5) food saks for the locals Kiser Elementary School in Stanley NC. 

"We (Ronald M. Cox, DDS : Family Dentistry of Stanley, NC) are hoping to set an example within the community to reach out to others in need.  We are giving a small amount, but hope that others will come forward to make their own food saks to give.  Kiser Elementary is helping out close to 50 children a week. Soon, we hope to do more personally.  It's hard to think of children not having enough to eat, especially on the weekends.  That's where these food saks are so important to help the children."

FOOD SAKS 4 KIDS, a local community program helps to feed children on the weekends.  This program only operates on food distributed and gathered from the local community.  The program started with a mere 8 - 10 kids and now is reaching close to 50 children every week.   Each food sak contains 3 dinners, 2 lunches, 2 breakfast, drinks and snacks.  Healthy items are choosen with a few sweets, given that kids are picky eaters.   Food Saks 4 Kids helps children have adequate meals during the weekends.

Please do your part in helping children eat properly.    Thank you Food Saks 4 Kids.  See a list of our charities that help the community on the EVENTS page of our website.
