Diversity Community Foundation (DCF) Continues the Fight against Hunger in today’s youth!

Sept. 20, 2011 - PRLog -- Diversity Community Foundation (DCF) has partnered with adopted 40 elementary school children at Hunter Elementary School.  Diversity Community Foundation (DCF) has continued the Backpack Buddy program with these students. A Backpack Buddy program sends hungry kids home with a backpack full of nutritious food for the weekend. Distribution begins Friday, September 23, 2011 and will continue throughout the entire 2011-2012 school year. To date DCF have handed our more than 2940 meals to youth and their families.

DCF has partnered with Kroger to HOST A DRIVE! This food drive will take place on Saturday, October 1, 2011 from 10 am until 2pm. All are invited to participate in this food drive to benefit Hunter Elementary School.  Kroger is located at 1610 Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard Raleigh, NC 27610-3468 which intersects at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr Blvd and Raleigh Blvd. DCF is also in need of volunteers to help during the food drive.  This would make an excellent community service project for high school or college students, civic or fraternal organizations. You may volunteer by downloading the volunteer from our website, www.DCFcares.org  or emailing a request to info@dcfcares.org.  Please come to Kroger and support the BackPack Buddy program and drop off food items.
