Knoxville Community Fund Grant Provides Food To Area Children
Foundation: Galesburg Community Foundation
When students at Mable Woolsey Elementary School in Knoxville, Ill., aren't in school, they don't have a place to eat on weekends.
Thanks to a $2,500 grant from the Knoxville Community Fund, they'll now have that place.
The money will go to Blessings in a Backpack, a national nonprofit that provides food on weekends for elementary school children who might otherwise go hungry, the Galesburg News-Gazette reports.
"Making sure children receive the food they need when they aren't in school is one more way that we are combating hunger in our community," says Chris Hroziencik, chair of the Knoxville Community Fund advisory committee.
