I can’t think of any issue that is more important than working to see that no schoolchild in this world goes hungry. ~ Drew Barrymore
The “For the Kids” healthy snack program started in 2017 and is a partnership between the
Voorhees Breakfast Rotary and the Voorhees business community. The initiative provides
healthy snacks to our teachers to offer at their discretion to students in need.
A simple snack can have a dramatic impact on our children’s health and learning ability. Healthy
snacks are especially crucial for growing children because they need to refuel throughout the day
to maintain energy and focus.
The Voorhees “For the Kids” program has provided thousands of snacks to children over the
years, particularly those students at Osage School.
The program is currently seeking sponsors to support the 2024-25 initiative. Nine $500 monthly
sponsorships are available. Each sponsor of the month will be named the contributor for all
distributions for the sponsored month.
All the donations will be used for providing food for our children. The volunteer staff handles
all fundraising operations and ensures teachers have an ongoing supply.
For more information or to be a sponsor, contact the Voorhees Breakfast Rotary Club at voorheesbreakfastrc@gmail.com.
