A food drive will be held to benefit the Kent Food Bank from today until April 30.
Anyone interested can bring non-perishable food items to any Kent School District Kitchen. Join members of the Washington School Nutrition Association who serve, cook, and plan school breakfast and school lunch for Washington school children every day in a statewide effort to fill food pantries.
With summer approaching, many people will no longer have easy access to school meals, making it harder to feed their families. Although some districts may offer summer meal programs, some families will find it difficult to replace the meals to which their children normally have access throughout the school year, according to the district.
The mission of the Washington School Nutrition Association is to ensure healthy well-balanced meals are served to school children by providing education and training for its members.
For more information, call the district at 253-373-7000.
