SNACK DRIVE

10/25/2023

District 204 currently has more than 5,000 students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Often times, providing adequate healthy food for children can be challenging for low-income families. As a result, students spend time in the nurse’s office with a stomach issue due to hunger.  

To address this problem, the Indian Prairie Parents' Council (IPPC) is hosting a monthly drive to collect healthy snacks to provide to  students in need. If you would like to help, please click here to purchase snacks from the Amazon Wish List which will be donated to students in need. 

Snacks used for this purpose include:

• Applesauce
• Goldfish
• Cheerios
• Granola Bars
• Pretzels
• Fruit Snacks
• Cheez-Its
• Graham Crackers
• Nutri-Grain Bars
• Animal Crackers
• Raisins
• Fruit Cups
• Smart Pop Popcorn

To make a monetary donation towards the snack drive, please click  Givebacks (memberhub.com) 

Thank you in advance for your generosity!
