IMPORTANT: Food distribution program at Stetser school

Philabundance is kicking off the KidsBites program at Stetser Elementary School in Chester, PA on Wednesday, September 11, 2013

KidsBites was created to ensure kids across the Delaware Valley have the food they need to thrive and grow during a critical time of development. 

• This program provides access to nutritious food in low-income areas for the families of all students enrolled. 
• Food is distributed at this site twice a month providing families with 15 pounds of food during each distribution. 
• KidsBites allows families to choose from available food options, including fresh produce, protein and dairy. 
• The ability to make their own selection promotes a stronger sense of dignity for families.

Philabundance is able to run KidsBites and the Stetser Elementary School site in particular because of the generous support of the National Dairy Council, Procter & Gamble, the Ethel Sergeant Clark Smith Memorial Fund, Citizens Bank Foundation, W.W. Smith Charitable Trust, Teva Pharmaceuticals and Sunoco who have helped fund the program. 

A $10,000 grant from the National Dairy Council allows Philabundance to purchase two produce items for every distribution and provide nutrition education to students and families at Stetser Elementary School with Greener Partners, an organization that works to build community through sustainable farming and farm-based education.
