100WOMENSTRONG CREATES $100,000 CHALLENGE GRANT, PARTNERS WITH AGENCIES ACROSS THE COUNTY TO CREATE NUTRITIOUS BACKPACK PROGRAM DESIGNED TO FEED MORE SCHOOLCHILDREN AT LOWER COST
LOUDOUN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, BLUE RIDGE AREA FOOD BANK, LOUDOUN EDUCATION FOUNDATION WORKING WITH 100WOMENSTRONG ON NEW COUNTY-WIDE INITIATIVE TO ELIMINATE HUNGER DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR
Leesburg, Va. – September 20, 2013 – Loudoun County-based 100WomenStrong, a group of women who strategically invest in organizations and programs that enrich the lives of Loudoun County citizens, has spearheaded an initiative designed to target and include all the children who are food insecure in Loudoun County schools and offer them weekend assistance at highly cost-effective rates. The philanthropic group of women has collaborated with the Loudoun Chamber of Commerce, Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, Loudoun Education Foundation and Loudoun Insurance Group, the program’s first corporate sponsor, on a program that includes the following elements:
“The problem of food insecurity continues to grow across the country and in our county. There are many people and programs across the county currently doing a great job of trying to feed these kids. But even with all of this great effort, only 40 percent of the students who are food insecure in Loudoun County schools are receiving support,” said Karen Schaufeld, president and founder of 100WomenStrong. “In addition, they rely on donations from friends and neighbors who are buying food at retail, which isn’t the most effective approach.
“By partnering with county agencies and groups, we know we can reach more children and hopefully bring 40-percent coverage close to 100-percent coverage quickly,” Schaufeld continued. “We also have access to meals that are nutritious and very cost effective. Through the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, we can stretch a dollar much further and feed more children for less money.”
According to Lynn Rubin, vice president of 100WomenStrong, by working with the food bank, a donation of $20 is enough to buy all the food needed for a child for weekends for a month. That $20 at a grocery store does not go as far. In addition, when relying on food donations, there may be too many of one item and not enough of another.
“100WomenStrong made an initial grant to Blue Ridge Area Food Bank for a Backpack program several years ago, and we quickly realized the cost effective nature of working directly with a food bank,” explained Rubin. “This new initiative is designed to grow on that concept and get as many organizations involved as we can to feed as many schoolchildren as possible.”
By working with the Loudoun Education Foundation and parent liaisons within the schools, the program knows exactly which children to target while maintaining their privacy. Approximately 12,000 Loudoun County schoolchildren are on the free or reduced lunch program, which usually means they do not get enough food at home. For some of them, the only food they eat is the food offered during school hours.
“Hungry children cannot concentrate on schoolwork as well as they should,” offers Kristina Bouweiri, 100WomenStrong member. “It is tragic that these children – whose success in school is vital to the success of our community today and in the future – are sitting in class worried about when they might eat again.
“An educated child is a motivated child, and one that will someday be an important part of our community,” Bouweiri said. “Investing in these kids now is important to the future of your businesses and to our county.”
