Afterschool Specials

Every afternoon, when the school day ends, many children in our rural communities return home to empty cupboards and long hours before dinner.

 

Piscataquis Regional Food Center’s Afterschool Specials program was created to help bridge that gap by providing children with easy-to-prepare, kid-friendly foods they can count on after school and during weekends or school breaks.

 

From comforting favorites like macaroni and cheese, applesauce, and peanut butter crackers to warm options like soups and hot cocoa, these specially packed bags help ensure that children have access to nourishing food during the hours they are most vulnerable to hunger.
