Pop Up Weekend Food for Kids Distribution
FREE for Eden Prairie Schools Families * Anonymous * NO Registration REQUIRED
All Eden Prairie Schools families (including TASSEL) are welcome to pick up Weekend Food for Kids bags (one per child) from Every Meal, a local non-profit fighting child hunger. Food packs include non-perishable meal ingredients or ready-to-eat food items.
All food bag types contain 4-5 pounds of nutritious, non-perishable food – including a variety of canned fruits, vegetables, proteins, grains, and soups/entrees. Families may choose from five food bag options that are tailored and identified by different colors of the Every Meal apple icon:
- Blue Bag: Tailored for East African dietary preferences (NO pork)
- Orange Bag: Tailored for Latino dietary preferences
- Purple Bag: Tailored for Southeast Asian dietary preferences
- Yellow Bag: Ready-to-eat items requiring little or no preparation
- Green Bag: Widest variety of food items (not intended to serve any specific dietary preferences)
