Did you know that food insecurity affects families in our community? In Merrill, many households lack access to sufficient food. The Food For Kids program addresses this by providing meals to students from food-insecure households over the weekends when school lunch programs are unavailable. 
​
For the 2023-2024 school year, the free and reduced lunch rates are significant: Kate Goodrich (63.76%), Washington (55.21%), PRMS (48.23%), and MHS (35.88%). These statistics highlight the urgent need for our program.
​
We are dedicated to supporting children and families in our community. Your donation, no matter the amount, can help provide weekend meals for children in need. Join us in the fight against food insecurity!
