67 Feeding Kids In Need One Backpack At A Time | KIND

Did you know that one third of children in schools in Montgomery County are on the free or reduced lunch program? This number is shocking to see anywhere, but more so when referring to a county that is seemingly more affluent. This just goes to show that no one is immune to food insecurity, regardless of what a situation may appear as.This is why our guest on today’s episode founded KIND to ensure that children facing food insecurity have meals when they go home. Jeremy Lichtenstein has teamed up with his community to purchase, pack, and distribute meals by sending kids home on Friday with a backpack full of meals so they don’t go hungry over the weekend.KIND’s operation is smooth and efficient, allowing for the most bags to be packed in the shortest amount of time, 115,000 food items in 30 minutes to be exact, and every dollar raised goes directly toward purchasing food for these children.Tune in to hear how this organization has made a huge difference in the Montgomery County area and how they want to continue their efforts to provide consistent aid for underprivileged schools and children.You don’t want to miss this one!Connect with KIND:WebsiteFacebookInstagramTwitterConnect with Jamie at Truman Charities:FacebookInstagramLinkedInWebsiteYouTubeEmail: [email protected] episode was post produced by Podcast Boutique https://podcastboutique.com/
