Volunteers pack weekend food bags into boxes making them ready for delivery to Bonner County Head Start and elementary schools which participate in Food for Our Children's program. This shipment is the last one before school breaks for the summer and will resume again when school begins in the fall.

FFOC’s Weekend Food Program provides a bag of food for approximately 400 children each Friday facing food insecurity, ensuring they will not face hunger over the weekend and thus return to school ready to learn on Monday morning. Other Food For Our Children programs include Weekend Food Program XL for junior high and high school students (larger quantity of food/calories as well as some foods which may require minor preparation), and Mid-Morning Snack Program, which provides relief for children in need at a critical point in the school day when they might otherwise go hungry. 100% of all donations go directly and only for the food which feeds our Bonner County children.
