Giving Hearts Day campaign to fund milk and snack for K-4 students

2/8/2019

0 Comments

 
With help from donors, Moorhead Schools Legacy Foundation wants students in Moorhead Area Public Schools to receive milk and snack break, even if their families are struggling to make ends meet. On Feb. 14, the Legacy Foundation will be part of Giving Hearts Day 2019, and contributions to the foundation’s Food for Thought campaign will fund this effort.

Donations made on Giving Hearts Day, which is co-hosted by Dakota Medical Foundation, Impact Foundation and Alex Stern Family Foundation, will be matched, furthering the impact. Learn more at www.givingheartsday.org.

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.

In 2017, Moorhead Schools Legacy Foundation’s Giving Hearts Day ​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.

This year the Legacy Foundation wants more students to be able to focus and learn better in the classroom by providing funds to the schools to support milk, snack and critical needs. Donations may be made at www.givingheartsday.org on Feb. 14 or scheduled in advance.

Moorhead Schools Legacy Foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization focused on funding the needs of current and future students in Moorhead Area Public Schools and creating an endowment to support the schools in the future. Learn more at www.moorheadlegacy.org.

The Moorhead Schools Legacy Foundation was awarded a prestigious $10,000 Alex Stern Family Foundation grant last month to support the foundation’s Food For Thought campaign, which provides milk and snack to students in need.
 
For the past two years, the Alex Stern Family Foundation provided grants giving much-needed operational funds for the Moorhead Schools Legacy Foundation. The grant funds allowed the Legacy Foundation to continue its work of making an impact in the Moorhead Schools community by enhancing the school district’s programs and facilities and creating an endowment for the future.
 
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. In 2017, donors from the community made it possible for the Moorhead Schools Legacy Foundation to donate more than $9,500 to Moorhead Area Public Schools food and nutrition services to support elementary milk and snack break at the district’s elementary schools.
 
The Legacy Foundation held its second annual SpudTacular Gala in September 2018, and this fall awarded $5,000 in Spud Student Impact grants to teachers in the Moorhead Schools. The foundation is preparing for its third Giving Hearts Day in February 2019 in support of its Food For Thought campaign to support milk, snack and meals for students in need.

On Feb. 9, Moorhead Schools Legacy Foundation’s Food for Thought campaign will be part of Giving Hearts Day 2017. The Legacy Foundation wants students in Moorhead Area Public Schools to receive milk/snack break and meals, even if their families are struggling to make ends meet. 

On Giving Hearts Day, match funding from generous donors magnifies the impact of your giving! More than one-third of 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 and are unable to pay for meals.

We invite you to give back on Giving Hearts Day, Thursday, Feb. 9 to the Moorhead Schools Legacy Foundation’s Food for Thought Campaign. We are excited to be part of this amazing event, sponsored by Dakota Medical Foundation, Impact Foundation and the Alex Stern Family Foundation.

To make a secure online contribution that day, go to www.givingheartsday.org. Give from the heart, and help the Moorhead Schools Legacy Foundation gift the needed funds to provide milk/snack and meals to those students and families in need!
