Since 2010, JCSVV has enthusiastically supported the West Sedona School District Backpack Program for Kids. Through the Sedona Food Bank, as many as 125 schoolchildren eligible for free or reduced lunch meals can receive weekend emergency food packs that contain 2 breakfasts, 2 healthy snacks, juice, milk, 2 proteins and two entrees. An interfaith consortium sends volunteers on Thursday morning to the food bank to pack the 5 lb. bags and deliver them to the school for Friday pick up.
Teachers report that children who receive weekend food packs do better academically and have more energy than those who choose not to be in the program.
