We need continual commercially-prepared snacks
With a Mentors Care office at all of our school locations, students in our program are invited to stop by and grab a snack 2 times per day. For our coordinators, it’s a way to say a quick “hello” and touch base with some of our more seriously “at-risk” students.
Why Do Some of Our Students Need Snacks?
- Parents will not apply for the free/reduced lunch program offered at school
- Family’s want to avoid being detected by state and local government agencies
- Parents do not care to bother with ensuring their child has food at school
- Family’s earn just enough to become ineligible for free/reduced lunch programs yet not enough to provide lunches
- Parents are more preoccupied with drugs or alcohol than purchasing food items
- Parents are incarcerated and their children are left to provide for themselves
Amazon will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible purchase from AmazonSmile to Mentors Care so shop away!
