FOOD FOR
KIDS PROGRAM
Rosetta Dubose has asked all of the Kiwanis Clubs in the
MO/ARK District to help us with this project. The Arkansas Rice Depot is a not‑for‑profit
program. The Food For Kids program is the Arkansas
Rice Depot's program to provide needy children with backpacks of
easily‑prepared food. The program serves 15,000 children in Grades K‑12
in 400 schools in
There are 3 ways we can help:
1. Purchase dark canvas backpacks.
2. Purchase food that children can prepare easily.
Suggestions: granola bars, individual packages of cereal, tuna, fruit cocktail,
pudding cups, individual boxes of raisins, macaroni & cheese, juice boxes,
breakfast bars, snack cakes, Ramen noodle soup, fruit roll‑ups, etc.
3. Checks made out to MO/ARK District. Write Food for Kids on
the memo line.
I hope each club will help me with this project! Rosetta would
like us to bring these items to the Nov. 12 Governor's Dinner. They will be
driving their van. Items may also be taken to the
conference in Branson in February.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 816‑454‑3084 (evenings).
Thank you in advance for helping me with this project! Mary
