http://www.tuksnackpack.comABOUT HOMELESSNESS IN TUKWILA:
In the academic year 2018-2019 307 students in Tukwila School District met the federal McKinney-Vento criteria for homelessness. This represents 10.1% of our school age children. Compare this to a TSD student homeless rate of 1.6% in 2009-2010. In one elementary school more than 20% of the students met the federal criteria for homelessness as defined in the McKinney-Vento Act.
Here’s where the campaign money goes: The Tukwila Weekend SnackPack Program was launched in February 2015 to provide 7 meals each weekend for our McKinney-Vento students at Thorndyke Elementary. Since then, we have distributed more than 200,000 meals, serving four schools in Tukwila.
Over 200 volunteers worked last year to provide meals to close to 300 students each week. Volunteers come from the Tukwila church community, Tukwila residents, city employees, and local business partners.
Thank you for helping to ensure that No Child Goes Hungry in Tukwila. https://youtu.be/Qe863tkVQUI
