Christmas Wish: Feed hungry children


I got word yesterday that Oakcrest Elementary has 15 more children that they want to add to the Backpack Club, which is gives the kids backpacks on Fridays with enough food to feed them and their younger siblings for an entire weekend. What will it cost to help feed these kids for the rest of 2010-2011 school year? Total $1,000.

You can make an online donation through the food bank’s website at bayareafoodbank.org. Please be sure to specify the “Florida Backpacks for Kids/Oakcrest” on your donation.
