2) Giving Hearts Day is Feb. 13, 2020!
Moorhead Legacy Education Foundation's Food For Thought campaign is part of Giving Hearts Day, co-hosted by Dakota Medical Foundation, Impact Institute and Alex Stern Family Foundation.
MLEF wants students in Moorhead Area Public Schools to receive milk/snack break and meals when their families are struggling to make ends meet. Contributions to the Food For Thought program fund this effort. You can help with your matched donations on February 13th, 2020.
The Legacy Foundation’s Giving Hearts Day 2017 Food For Thought campaign raised funds to support 200 students, providing them with milk and snack so they could learn and focus in the classroom. In 2018, more than 180 donors raised $13,900 for the Legacy Foundation’s Food for Thought campaign to provide students in need in Moorhead Area Public Schools with milk/snack and meals.
Currently, more than 900 of the 2,600 K-4 elementary students in Moorhead Area Public Schools are eligible for free or reduced-price meals, but this program doesn’t cover the cost for elementary milk and snack break or fill the gaps when families’ financial situations change. For some students, daily snack break is one of their meals when breakfast is not available at home.
This year, the Legacy Foundation wants to continue building that support by providing funds to the schools to support milk, snack and critical needs. Please consider us on Giving Hearts Day 2020! Learn more at www.givingheartsday.org.

3) Spud Scholars Phonathon
The Legacy Foundation sponsors an annual Spud Scholars Phonathon to raise money for scholarships. Moorhead High School students secure pledges and the Board of Directors support and assist with mailing and record-keeping. Community support ensures the success of this annual Phonathon. An awards ceremony is held by the district each spring before graduation.
