Nourishing Neighbors Program helps children and families struggling with food insecurity
Safeway Foundation’s Nourishing Neighbors Program and Children Rising are providing much-needed assistance to children and families facing food insecurity.
Children Rising is pleased to be the recipient of a generous grant from Safeway Foundation’s Nourishing Neighbors that will help provide much-needed assistance to the children in our community impacted by food insecurity.
Many hunger relief organizations continue to be overloaded by increased hunger issues caused by the pandemic. Children can be especially susceptible to hunger during weekend and vacation breaks when school is out. Through the Nourishing Neighbors initiative, Safeway Foundation continues to focus on addressing hunger issues in the communities they serve.
Your gifts ensure that every child has the healthy food and nourishment they need to succeed in school and thrive. Thank you!
Children Rising will provide Safeway gift cards to families of children enrolled in our Succeeding by Reading and Path2Math online tutoring programs. In addition to providing another source of addressing a family’s food insecurity, the gift cards will encourage increased levels of parental engagement and partnership with their child’s literacy and math tutor. Effectively building relationships of mutual respect between parents and the teacher/tutor is key for parental engagement and accelerated learning.
Thanks to the Safeway Foundation. We are grateful to be part of the Nourishing Neighbors Family and working together to empower children and families in our community.
YES, I CAN empower a child to build bridges to a better future!
I want to learn more about online reading or math clinics to see if tutoring is right for me!
