This week the children go back to school in Collinsville, Il.. Their summer vacation is over and it is back to learning. Hunger never takes a vacation and interferes with learning. The Collinsville Food Pantry is dedicated to making sure the food insecure children in the Collinsville School District has access to food over the weekend. The Ladies Auxiliary of the Knights of Columbus will be working on bags the first week of school to send home on Friday. Hunger just does not stop. So neither do we. The Pantry was sending 135 bags home with the children at the end of the last school year. We serve all the elementary, intermediate and the middle school in the district.
Please remember that back to school also means some food security for children. They receive free breakfast and lunch, Monday through Friday. Meals that help them function during the school day and that in turn helps them learn. By supporting us you continue to support children in their education.
