For the fifth consecutive year, J. Rettenmaier USA (JRS USA), On Purpose Branding and Dave Rice Group have joined together to collect donations for the Schoolcraft Friday Pack program. The goal is always to collect more than the year before, and everyone stepped up to the challenge. Collectively with On Purpose Branding and Dave Rice Group, JRS USA collected stacks of items to help children after school on weekends. In addition to the food items donated, JRS and employees donated over $5,000 to help supplement any additional items needed to fill the packs.
Started over 10 years ago, the Schoolcraft Friday Pack program has been providing students in need with food to eat over the weekends. The packs are filled and placed in the lockers Friday morning before school starts. The need for the program continues to grow but with donations from the community the Friday Pack is confident in its ability to continue to provide students in need with nutritious meals. If you are interested in learning more about this program or would like to donate, call the Schoolcraft Eagle’s Nest at 269-488-5847 or email schoolcrafteaglesnest1@gmail.com . All monetary and non-perishable food donations are welcome.
