The Twinsburg City School District partners with The Twinsburg Schools Foundation for our PAWS on Child Hunger Program. PAWS provides a bag of nutritious snacks to school-aged, eligible children through grade 8 on Fridays of each week so they have something healthy to eat over the weekends. The food items are “kid-friendly” and nutritious and can be easily opened and prepared to be eaten by the child.
Typically, we distribute PAWS bags 4-5 times a month with a cost of nearly $1,000 per distribution or about $3,000 per month.
Our PAWS on Child Hunger Program is funded 100% through donations from our generous community.
