Food for Others Partnership
Irving Middle
School and West Springfield High School are partnering with Food for Neighbors,
a weekend food program that helps provide food for our students who do not have
enough to meet their needs.
Food for Neighbors is a local organization addressing this
problem by collecting food from our community via the Red Bag Program and
donating directly to Irving and WSHS. The donated food is distributed to our
students on Friday afternoons.
We hope you
will consider participating in the Red Bag food collection program. You can
make a difference in a local student’s life by simply adding a few extra items
to your shopping cart every 2 months. Even in a county as wealthy as Fairfax, one in four kids in our area are
struggling with hunger.
How it Works:
-
Request a reusable Red Bag here and Food for Neighbors will drop
it off at your house.
- Fill the Red Bag with food items
listed on the tag attached to the bag.
- Put the Red Bag outside your front
door in the morning on the next bag collection day. (Collection dates are
also listed on the tag.)
Your Red Bag is
picked up from your house and the food is delivered to Irving and then
distributed to Irving and WSHS students in need. As an added benefit, you can
get a tax deduction for the food you donate!
With your help, our local students can
be fed. For more
information on the Red Bag program click here.
If you’re
already participating in the Red Bag Program, THANK YOU! If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact John Basta at jbasta@fcps.edu. If you have a student at West
Springfield who could benefit from a bag of snacks for the weekend, please let
John Basta know at jbasta@fcps.edu or 703-913-3830.
