Hey Kids! How can you end child hunger? Fill bags and fill bellies!
Did you know 1 out of 8 local children is hungry?
For kids who rely on free and reduced lunch at school, summer means increased worry about hunger instead of going to the beach or summer camp. ONT helps these families by providing groceries for healthy breakfast and lunch through our Summer Lunch Program. Kids can help their peers struggling with hunger by starting a Fill Em Up Bag!
This a wonderful opportunity to instill the value of community service and helping others in your children. Kids will decorate their Fill Em Up Bag, then ask friends and family to help fill the bag. The goal is to collect $25, which would provide breakfast and lunch to a child for a whole month! Last year nearly 4,000 was collected through Fill Em Up Bags. This year our goal is $5,000, which will help feed 200 children this summer! Please help if you can with this important project.

Let's get started! It's easy to make your own Fill Em Up Bag!
Step 1: Download the Fill Em Up Bag logo. Or you can start a virtual bag through a personal online giving page for friends and family to donate to your bag via credit card.
Step 2: Color the logo and attach it to your bag (brown bag, grocery bag, etc).
Step 3: Ask your family, friends and neighbors to make a donation to help you raise $25 to fill your bag. No donation is too small. $1 or $10, every donation counts! (Coins and dollars only. Please do not collect food items. Checks made out to Our Neighbors’ Table also accepted.)
Step 4: Drop off your Fill Em Up bag at Our Neighbors’ Table during one of the designated drop off times. Bags will happily be accepted with whatever the amount raised, more or less than $25.
If interested at drop-off, kids will be offered a brief tour of the Market and Warehouse so they can see in-person how they have helped!
