Ms. Bomba and I are collecting canned foods for a collaborative project, allowing kids to both analyze food labels for nutrition info as well as explore the pop art work of Andy Worhol. The canned food items will then be donated to the Capitol Area Food Bank. Please consider donating healthy canned foods (not just the stuff in the back of your cabinets). There is a collection box in the main lobby, near the office.
From the Capital Area Food Bank website:
What is the Capital Area Food Bank?
The Capital Area Food Bank is the hub for food sourcing, food distribution and nutrition education in the Washington metro area, serving those struggling with hunger. In Washington, DC and its six surrounding counties, there are nearly 700,000* individuals at risk of hunger, of which nearly 150,000 are children. Last year, the CAFB distributed 45 million pounds of food – equivalent to 37.5 million meals – to 478,100 people through direct service and a network of more than 500 partner agencies. The CAFB service area includes: Washington DC; Montgomery County, MD; Prince George’s County, MD; Fairfax County, VA; Prince William County, VA; Arlington County, VA; and The City of Alexandria, VA.
