Feed The Need of Putnam County: Feeding Children

Feed the Need of Putnam County's vision is to ensure that no child in the community goes hungry, particularly over the weekends when school-provided meals aren't available. We aim to alleviate food insecurity among students, providing them with consistent access to nutritious meals, so they can focus on learning and thriving. 

Feed the Need of Putnam County's approach focuses on gathering donations and working with local volunteers to pack and distribute weekend food bags to food-insecure students. They partner with schools to identify children in need and provide easy-to-prepare, nutritious meals. The organization collaborates with the community through food drives, donations, and partnerships to sustain its efforts and reach as many students as possible. 

Feed the Need of Putnam County has achieved significant milestones since its inception:

• Serving Over 800 Students Weekly: The organization provides weekend food to over 800 food-insecure students during the school year.
• 501(c)(3) Status: In 2018, Feed the Need became a registered non-profit, allowing for expanded support and operations.
• Community Engagement: The program has successfully partnered with local schools, businesses, churches, and community members to gather donations and organize food drives.
• Sustained Growth: Since starting in 2016, the organization has grown to serve more schools and families each year.

These accomplishments reflect their dedication to fighting food insecurity in Putnam County.
