Bridging A Gap (BAG) works to address food insecurity among local students by providing nutritious weekend meals to children who may otherwise go without adequate food when school is not in session.

How it works

Each week, a team of volunteers meet and stuff ordinary looking bags with nutritious, easy to prepare foods. The filled bags are then dropped off at the school each Friday or the day before the school break and are distributed to the students by school staff. On Mondays, the students return their empty packs to the school and volunteers pick them up so that we are able to re-fill them the following week.
