MAKE A DONATION
FIT (Food In Tummies) is a new project of The Junior League of Austin and a unique program designed to provide weekend nourishment to children grades PreK‐5 who qualify for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP – which provides free and reduced meals). Multiple studies and extensive research indicate children who are hungry do not excel in school. The NSLP addresses the issue of hunger during the week, but not on the weekend. In its pilot year, the FIT, managed by the JLA in collaboration with the Del Valle Independent School District, will benefit the entire student population of Baty Elementary which currently enrolls more than 800 students. These children will receive packs full of healthy food along with bilingual recipe cards and nutrition tips every weekend for 32 weeks during the 2010‐2011 school year. For as little as $5, you can feed a child for one week.
