In a nutshell, The Acorn Project raises funds that are funneled directly to the school district’s backpack program, which sends food home with children in need during weekends and seasonal breaks from school
The grant is expected to feed 175 students each week for 16 weeks
Donations will be issued as grants to purchase food for students in need. Packing events will also be set up to organize the food.
