Food For Kids Donations

LCARSP Supports County Schools’ Food for Kids Programs

Lincoln County Area Retired School Personnel recently donated $200 to each of the four public schools’ Food for Kids Programs. These programs provide food for students/families in their districts who may need a little extra help feeding their families on the weekends.

As part of the LCARSP Community Service in Lincoln County, LCARSP members voluntarily donate to the LCARSP Food for Kids project. The Food for Kids monies are then donated to the school-to-home food support programs – the Silex R-I Owls Pals, the Elsberry R-II Buddy Backpacks, the Troy R-III Buddy Bags, and the Winfield R-IV Pals Pax programs.

LCARSP is a unit of the Missouri Retired Teachers Association which supports the statewide Show Me Hunger project and strongly encourages local community service projects.
