Fairfax County Public Schools + Prince George’s County Public Schools both issued a $25,000 grant
May 14, 2020
In partnership with No Kid Hungry, a national campaign to end childhood hunger in America, Nationals Philanthropies has issued matching grants of $25,000 to Fairfax County Public Schools (VA) and Prince George’s County Public Schools (MD) for a total of $50,000 to each school district. These funds will help Fairfax County and Prince George’s County Public Schools make sure kids stay nourished. Combined, the school districts will serve approximately 35,000 meals a day through curbside pick-up, pop-up meal sites and bus route delivery. Before the pandemic, 1 in 7 American kids lived with hunger; this year, that number may grow to 1 in 4. While there may not yet be a cure for COVID19, the hunger that so many families across the country are suffering while out of school and work is solvable
