CONGREGATION SUPPORTS BOOKER MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS
The Congregation for Humanistic Judaism
(CHJ) recently recognized its dedicated group
of BackPack Kids Program volunteers, who
make sure students at Booker Middle School
in Sarasota have sufficient food every weekend of the school year.
This is the fourth year of CHJ's involvement in
the effort, a news release says. The mission of
the All Faiths Food Bank program "is to help
alleviate child hunger in Sarasota and DeSoto counties," a food bank report says; it pro-
vides nutritional support for youngsters who
receive free or reduced-price meals at school.
CHJ has raised enough money to see students
through the 2013-14 school year, the release
adds. Renee Crames is the volunteer coordinator.
CHJ members not only fund the Booker Middle project, they also show up at All Faiths
Food Bank to pack the items and make sure
they are delivered on time, the release notes.
