Food4Kids Food Drive sponsored by Spirit Quest

In Connecticut, nearly one in five children is hungry or food insecure and does not get enough food outside of the free meal programs provided by the public schools. Hunger doesn’t take a break, so Jewish Family Services' Food4Kids is working to alleviate this situation in our local area.

At a meeting in June, our Spirit Quest Youth Group decided this would be their next Quest: feeding hungry children by collecting food for them. The most-needed items are:

  • Granola bars (nut free)

  • Fruit cups and bars (low sugar, if possible)

  • Juice boxes

  • Kids cereal

  • Applesauce

  • Pudding cups
