Do you know a child experiencing food insecurity? Meaning, they lack regular access to safe and nutritious food. If you do, suggest they ask their school counselor or teacher about the Bean Bag Food Program. They may qualify to receive free weekend meals. The BBFP serves the Souderton Area School District.
