<br /> <br /> <br />Overview <br /> <br /> <br />Nourish 282 is a local outreach program started with a mission to help families in need throughout the <br />St. Anthony/New Brighton School District (District 282). Nourish 282 has programs serving children <br />within District 282; weekend food supplement, Free Winter Store and gift card supplements. <br /> <br />Our largest initiative is a partnership with The Sheridan Story, providing free food bags for students to <br />take home on Fridays. We are currently providing more than 50 students with weekend food within all <br />of the schools (Community Services, Wilshire Park, SAMS and SAVHS). All food is non-perishable and <br />each bag contains one canned vegetable and fruit, one protein, one ready to serve item and; rice, beans or <br />pasta. It only takes $131 to feed one student for the entire school year. The Sheridan Story is a non-profit <br />out of Northeast Minneapolis that partners with community organizations and churches to provide <br />weekend food bags for food insecure students in the metro area. The Sheridan Story is currently serving <br />more than 3,500 students in more than 60 metro schools. <br /> <br />In addition to the weekend food program, we host a Free Winter Outerwear Store. The Free Store took <br />place on Monday, October 12th at Wilshire Park. Families were invited to come and shop from donated <br />jackets, snow pants, boots, etc. This year, we outfitted 25 students from head-to-toe with warm gear for <br />the winter. Finally, we hope to provide small grocery gift cards during the holiday break for families <br />enrolled in the weekend food program. <br /> <br />Enrollment and participation is easy. Families self-choose to participate in both the food supplement <br />program and free store. Nourish 282 works diligently to maintain discretion and privacy with all families <br />we serve. <br /> <br />Nourish 282 is managed by an all-volunteer work force and raises funds from our generous and <br />committed community members. We are seeking to create ongoing partnerships with local businesses, <br />churches and civic groups to help serve our local families in need. We are grateful for the support of our <br />school leadership and local community who understand that when we help children, we help shape the <br />future. <br /> <br /> <br />Julie Pierce Sara McGrath <br />Executive Director Director of Community Partnerships <br />jlpiercemn@comcast.net slaingmcgrath@gmail.com <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3301 Silver Lake Road <br />St. Anthony, MN 55418 <br />www.nourish282.com | info@nourish282.com <br />1
