Why we invite you to run with us.
Over 80,000 kids in West Michigan receive free and reduced lunch at school 5 days a week. That is equivalent to 1,112 school buses each filled to capacity. What about the weekend? Imagine 1,112 school buses of hungry kids every weekend in West Michigan.
Hand2Hand exists because a hungry child hurts. By providing weekend backpacks full of food, we are able to bridge the 68 hour gap. Watch FOLLOW THE BACKPACK video.
Childhood hunger has adverse effects on kids physically, emotionally, academically and socially. Hunger can also hinder a child from reaching his/her full potential and break the cycle of poverty as an adult.
When you decide to run with Hand2Hand, 100% of the funds that you raise will directly impact local students in need. Together we can spread hope, love, and food to over 8,000 kids every weekend!
