It takes 2 villages to feed the children

CHELAN - MANSON - Thrive Chelan Valley is offering weekend food support in Chelan and Manson, via their established Food2Schools program, for school-aged (PK-12 Grade) students during the temporary school closures. They gave away meals until their supplies ran out, which was 328 between the Manson and Chelan sites combined. The Cares Team developed a plan to provide drive-through weekend food support to families of registered Chelan and Manson students on Friday evenings, 5-7 p.m. thru April. All of the folks handing out Food2Schools bags are volunteering for Thrive as part of their Cares team and team members wear multiple hats (school personnel, mentors, coaches, etc).  They have raised $3,700 towards their initial goal is $6,600 which will help support weekend meals from now through the initial school closures of April 24. If schools are closed for longer, they may need to adjust that goal to continue meeting the needs of the Chelan and Manson youth. Thrive Chelan Valley is a local 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to ensuring that all youth in the Lake Chelan valley have everything they need to reach their full potential.
