In the greater Mankato Region, the problem of youth hunger is not just a statistic (32% of households with children are food insecure) - it's a daily reality for many school-aged children. Feeding Our Communities Partners (FOCP) is dedicated to addressing this critical issue by ensuring that every child has access to the nutrition food they need to grow, learn, and thrive.
We cannot do this alone. Community support through the Climb 2 Feed Kids event is essential to continue the fight against youth hunger. When you contribute to a Climb Team - you are helping ensure that no child in our community goes hungry.
By making a loving contribution, you can provide nourishment that our children need to grow up healthy, strong, and ready to learn...right here at home.
FOCP food programs provide healthy meals, nutrition, and hope to food-insecure youth, grades Pre K-12, on weekends and school breaks. Currently, we provide trusted and reliable food access to students in the Mankato, Nicollet, LCWM, St Clair, Maple River, JWP, Sibley-East, Minnesota New Country School and Cleveland school districts. This includes all public, private, parochial and home-schooled youth.
Each $5 donation provides food pack to sustain a child on weekends, so they are ready to learn on Mondays back at school.
Each food pack contains:
2 - Breakfasts
2 - Lunch
Assortment of healthy snacks
