Adapting to Urgent Food Needs

The District 196 Foundation has long partnered with Every Meal to help support food access for students in our district. However, the resources we currently provide represent only a small portion of the total meals Every Meal delivers to our schools - and the need in our district, and around the state, is growing.

To help meet the increasing demand, Every Meal is expanding its work by aiming to deliver 20,000 additional food bags to children and families across our community. We are committed to supporting this initiative, which provides nourishing, kid-friendly food in a way that meets families where they are and honors their dignity. 

Every dollar donated through this form goes directly to Every Meal to support the distribution of food bags to children and families, ensuring immediate, tangible impact where it’s needed most.
