Breaktime-Mealtime™
This year, our incredible volunteers packed over 80,000 meals to distribute to hungry kids through the Breaktime-Mealtime™ program. The school district shared some stories with us of how our volunteers and donors are helping their neighbors: Mom recently moved to Bellevue with her daughter and shortly after, the child's father stopped paying child support. It was very difficult for Mom to admit that she couldn't provide and needed help. Offering the family a Breaktime-Mealtime box gave us the opportunity to meet mom and establish a trusting relationship. She broke down one day, needing more help, and expressed how grateful she was that she had a place to turn. We meet so many families in need that we would probably never meet without the Breaktime-Mealtime program. Being able to give them something they need opens the doors to families feeling comfortable enough to come for more help if needed. It's also a wonderful, tangible way to say that we are so happy to have them at our school and care for their children. | |||||
