Cary Academy’s
2^nd annual
 ‘Kids Feeding Kids’
March 31- April 4 

Did you know that more than 80,000 children in the Triangle qualify for free and reduced lunch programs during the school year?

What do they do when school is not in session?   GO HUNGRY?

Cary Academy & the Food Shuttle believe that no child living in the Triangle should go hungry.   

The CA community will be collecting kid-friendly food for the Food Shuttle’s BackPack Buddies program, Monday, March 31 – Friday, April 4th.

The Back Pack Program provides backpacks filled with child-friendly, nutritious food to needy children in our area over the weekend and during holiday breaks and year-round school breaks.  Watch for CA students handing out the collection bags in carpool lines! 

The following foods are needed for each backpack:

·         Shelf-stable fruit cups and applesauce
·         Canned fruits and vegetables
·         Canned meats and fish
·         Meat-based soups and stews
·         Shelf-stable milk
·         Cereal, grits and oatmeal
·         Healthy snacks, such as graham crackers, dried fruit, and granola bars
·         100% juice (in cans, boxes, or plastic bottles)
·         Microwaveable shelf-stable meals (e.g., Easy Mac)

(Individual packages and pop-tops are best!)
