Sadly, for too many children in our community, the school cafeteria is the only place they are assured to get a meal.
Breakfast and lunch are taken care of at school, but weekends and holiday breaks may be times when these children are forced to go without due to severe financial circumstances.
School “Backpack Programs” identify children in need and quietly packs easily prepared, non-perishable food for them to take home for weekends and holiday breaks when they won’t be in school.
Gifts to the Knollwood Foundation not only help ease that burden on those children, but by directly supporting the Foundation’s mission of helping our community, those donations are also tax-deductible.
