The countdown is on to provide food for kids at Escuela Integrada!
Merry Christmas! We want to begin with a huge “Thank you!” to everyone who has already contributed to our year-end campaign. Your support is a great gift to our organization and will help provide food for the children at Escuela Integrada!
At press time, we raised enough support to provide almost 9,000 meals for the students at the school. Our goal over the next couple of days before 2026 arrives is to raise enough to provide 35,000 meals. While this may seem impossible, we have great faith that we can do it with your help!
Will you help us spread the word? We have a collection of downloadable materials to get the word out. Would you be willing to download a flier, graphic, photo or video to share with your friends and family? Does your place of worship have a Facebook page where you could post? Does your business have an all-staff listserv that you could email?
Any way of sharing the work we do would be of great help to keep our Meal Program going!
It remains a critical piece of our mission to feed the children we educate. We have deep knowledge of their family systems and struggles, and their most critical need is food. Every child eats two meals packed with nutrition and receives supplemental food assistance during the months the school is closed.
Each year, food is our biggest line item on the annual budget because without food, learning is impossible. Our year-end goal is to raise enough support to provide 35,000 meals at Escuela Integrada.
- One meal costs $1.50
- $15 feeds one student for one week
- $300 feeds a class (20 students) for one week
- $2550 feeds the entire school (170 kids) for one week
Year-end donations are a tax-deductible way to ensure kids at Escuela Integrada do not have to worry about where their next meal is coming from. One hundred percent of funds raised for this program will go directly to keeping the children fed.
Thank you for your help in spreading the word so that GRACES can continue to Feed the Future!
