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

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.
