Even within the thriving Tri-Village community, there are families struggling with food insecurity. Only a few hundred children in our community are food insecure. This number seems small compared to the more than 30,000 children in the Columbus Public School systems who are food insecure.
That doesn’t mean the children in Tri-Village are less hungry – it only means that they are invisible when decisions about support are made. If we don’t help those in need here, who will?
Members of the Tri-Village community have always been generous with their time and energy, willing to help others in need. But we don’t always think about the need right here, among our neighbors and friends.
Our goal is to do what we can, when we can, to support our neighbors in a very tangible and immediate way.
The Tri-Village Packers are preparing for Spring Break, and financial support and volunteer assistance will be needed to help our team provide healthy snacks, drinks, and meals to children in our schools who are experiencing food insecurity.
Funds can be donated through the UA Community Foundation.
