Hungry Kids Project

The Hungry Kids Project (HK) provides weekend food within four adjoining school districts: Prescott Unified School District (PUSD), Humboldt Unified School District (HUSD), Chino Valley Unified School District (CVUSD), and Mayer Unified School District (MUSD).

School personnel identify the children who have little or no weekend food available to them. Volunteers pack and deliver food packs to the schools where staff distribute them to the identified children. Contributions are used totally to purchase food for packs. Since pediatricians agree that hunger and malnutrition have a negative effect upon learning and brain development, the goal is to insure each child can return to school on Mondays ready to learn.
