The Power of Three

The Power of Three!

One in eight children in Princeton Public Schools are inadequately nourished, or in other words – going hungry. That translates to hundreds of children in our community; right here, in our town.

Let that sink in for a minute. Now here is some good news. There is something that you can do about it. There is a new initiative in Princeton called SEND HUNGER PACKING to feed hungry children in our community so that they can thrive in all areas of their lives. Each Friday afternoon during the school year a backpack full of kid-friendly and nutritionally sound food is sent home to ensure that these children have enough to eat on the weekends. And you can help make this program work by buying a ticket to the first fund raising event featuring the acclaimed documentary film A Place at the Table. This film, a 2012 Sundance Grand Jury Prize contender, stars Jeff Bridges and Tom Colocchio and examines the issues of hunger in America. The film will be shown this Sunday June 9^th 4pm at The Garden Theater, Princeton.

So what is the math on this back pack program really? Simple. $3 can feed a child for a weekend. $160 can feed them for the full school year. $160 and you can send a child home with nutritious food every Friday for a whole school year. Next time you leave the supermarket, think about that. And then go to the link below and either pick up a ticket to the fundraiser or make a donation. Some acts are simple, easy to do, and their impact is great. Step up. Help fill those back packs.
