Below is a list of non-perishable food items we are always collecting. All items should be non-perishable, single-serving, and easy for a child to open and prepare.
*Please be mindful that there are certain items we cannot pass on to students. Here are some examples of foods NOT to donate: boxes of macaroni (that you have to add ingredients to), fruit juices, and anything outdated. Just remember, these bags go home with kindergarteners as well, and they need to be able to prepare the food for themselves.
As part of The Full Tummy Project of Athens and Limestone County, Friendship is dedicated to ending childhood hunger by filling tummies and changing lives. The Full Tummy Project at Friendship’s Lucas Ferry campus provides weekend meal bags at Spark Academy at Cowart for children who are at risk for childhood hunger. The Full Tummy Project at Friendship’s North Campus provides weekend meal bags for students at Elkmont Elementary School, Elkmont High School, and Piney Chapel for children who are at risk for hunger.
We believe that no child should ever go hungry, yet many children who depend on school provided meals have little to no access to nutritious foods on weekends and during school breaks. Full Tummy Project provides small bags of food on Fridays for children in our local schools who have been identified by school administrators as at risk for hunger. The food in these weekend meal bags help these children return to school on Monday ready to learn.
