Arizona Brainfood is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, whose goal is to discreetly provide a backpack of food to feed hungry children on the weekends. By so doing, they hope that each child will return to school every Monday morning mentally aware and physically able to concentrate.
Quick Facts:
Over 60% of Mesa, AZ students are eligible for free or reduced lunch.
Many of these children have very little or no food to eat on the weekends. They often go to bed hungry!
It has been proven, children that lack proper nourishment have lower test scores and more behavioral problems in school.
