Big Meals for Little Kids
FUMCR and Network of Community Ministries partnered in a pilot program during the summer of 2009 to distribute snack bags to children living in one apartment complex in Richardson who are on the RISD free lunch program during the school year.
Volunteers from Sunday School classes and others picked up the snack bags at Network each Tuesday and Thursday for 6 weeks in and took them to the apartment complex to distribute to children who are 3-13 years old. The program expanded to more apartment complexes in following summers.
