Brummitt Weekly

The Duneland schools have partnered with NWI No Child Hungry to provide Buddy Bags for students in need.

The Buddy Bag program is designed to help fight childhood hunger. Buddy Bags are kid-friendly sacks of food that are sent home with students on Fridays to ensure they have enough to eat on the weekend. In each bag, students get a shelf-stable breakfast, lunch, dinner, fruit cup, applesauce, sweet snack, and salty snack. Each student who participates in the Buddy Bag program receives meals for both Saturday & Sunday.

Currently this program is for students in grades K-6. If you have more than one student the program will provide a bag for each student that is signed up. Sign Up Here if you would like your student(s) to be enrolled in the Buddy Bag Program

The program is free of charge and is run anonymously in partnership with NWI No Child Hungry and their generous sponsors. For more information about this program, or if you would like to make a donation, you can check out the NWI No Child Hungry website.

For other questions about the program, contact our school counselor, Mrs. M.
