Mission
NEW DAY'S MISSION IS TO PROVIDE FOOD FOR HUNGRY ARLINGTON STUDENTS ON THE WEEKEND. WE WORK DIRECTLY WITH ARLINGTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT (AISD) SCHOOL COUNSELORS TO FIND THE STUDENTS WHO ARE EITHER HUNGRY OR WHO MAY BE FOOD INSECURE OR DO NOT HAVE A CONSISTENT STREAM OF NUTRITIOUS FOOD AVAILABLE TO THEM. COUNSELORS IDENTIFY THESE STUDENTS AT THEIR SCHOOLS AND CONTACT NEW DAY FOR THE DELIVERY OF WEEKEND FOOD BAGS ON FRIDAYS. THE BAGS ARE DISCREETLY DISTRIBUTED TO STUDENTS BY THE COUNSELOR. NEW DAY VOLUNTEERS DO NOT HAVE DIRECT CONTACT WITH AISD STUDENTS NOR THEIR FAMILIES.
