Thank you so much for the generous donation on behalf of the I.J. Burich Family Foundation. The funds will be used towards our biggest outreach program, the Weekend Food Program. Each week we send bags of food home with students in grades pre-k through 8th to help qualifying families at risk of hunger. We currently have 381 students from 12 McLeod County schools enrolled in this program. We alternate between 4 different menus and have 4 variations of a larger menu for long weekends and school breaks. Volunteers from all over the area come in to pack the bags and more volunteers deliver them to the schools. This program truly takes a village and we are so grateful for your continued support in helping McLeod County families. Thank you so very much!
