For some children, school breakfasts and lunches are their main food source. The Samaritan Center partners with local schools and the Chattanooga Area Food Bank to provide sack packs so children in need have healthy food to eat on the weekend.
Each week the Samaritan Center gives out 325 food items to local school children. These food items are supplied by our community partner the Chattanooga Area Food Bank. By supplying children with food to eat we are working to reduce food insecurity and give our community help for today and hope for tomorrow.
