1st and 2nd grade families, we are counting on YOU!

Have you heard about the Healthy HIP Pack Food Drive and Packing Party? The Bryant Student Hunger Service Project packing party for the 1st and 2nd graders and their families is Monday, 1/27 from 6:30-7:30 pm

Our goal this year is to make 250 Healthy HIP Packs during the 1st & 2nd grade Packing Party. The Hunger Intervention Program continues to see significant increases in demand for Healthy HIP Packs. They are now delivering 400-450 packs per week. The Bryant Student Hunger Service Project aims to provide a hands-on opportunity for our community to learn about and help students facing food insecurity every day in Seattle.

Student Hunger Service Project

The Bryant Student Hunger Service Project aims to provide a hands-on opportunity for our community to learn about and help students facing food insecurity every day in Seattle.
 
Nearly one-third of Seattle Public School students receive Free-and-Reduced Price Meals while they’re at school. But on the weekends and school breaks, students need extra assistance to assure that hunger isn’t an obstacle to learning during the week. Continuing Bryant’s partnership with the Hunger Intervention Program non-profit, we need your help to collect food for Healthy HIP Packs and then attend a grade level packing party where the whole family is invited to help assemble meal packs.
 
Contact Nina Mettler for information or to help.

5th grade families, donations by 4/3 & packing party 4/5!

 

The HIP Packing Party will be Friday evening 4/5 in the cafeteria from 6:30-7:15pm! Food donations must be dropped off at school by 2pm on Wednesday, 4/3. Collection bins are located in the main office and each 5th grade classroom.

Please sign up to donate food and volunteer to help! We need food donations for specific items and parent volunteers at the packing party. All food drive donations need to be recorded on the Sign-up Genius so we can confirm we have the correct quantities of items to make our goal of 125 healthy HIP packs.

If you aren’t able to purchase and bring food to school but still want to contribute, we have a GivingFuel page so you can donate money which will be used to purchase any remaining items needed.

We need your help! Last year HIP saw a significant increase in demand for Healthy HIP Packs. The Bryant Student Hunger Service Project aims to provide a hands-on opportunity for our community to learn about and help students facing food insecurity every day in Seattle.
