Mission
FILLING IN THE BLANKS ("FITB") AIMS TO FIGHT CHILDHOOD HUNGER BY PROVIDING CHILDREN IN NEED WITH MEALS ON THE WEEKENDS. FITB STRIVES TO STRENGTHEN AND EMPOWER HEALTHY COMMUNITIES BY INCREASING ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD, SPECIFICALLY FOR LOW-INCOME CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. FITB FULFILLS THIS MISSION BY DELIVERING MEALS DIRECTLY TO CHILDREN FROM LOW-INCOME FAMILIES EACH WEEKEND TO BRIDGE THE GAP WHEN THEY ARE NOT RECEIVING NUTRITION FROM THEIR SCHOOLS, AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS, OR CAMPS. THE EXPECTED OUTCOME IS TO REMOVE ONE WORRY FROM THEIR LIVES, PUT THEM ON MORE EQUAL GROUND WITH THEIR FOOD-SECURE PEERS, AND PROVIDE CONSISTENT NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT.
