SAINT CLOUD CARES
Blessing Children in St. Cloud
Saint Cloud Cares is a network of local churches working with St. Cloud elementary schools to provide food for children at risk of going hungry over the weekend during the school year.
Those volunteering with Saint Cloud Cares gather, organize, load, and distribute shelf-stable food items for children attending the elementary schools in St. Cloud. Teachers at participating elementary schools discreetly place the prepared food bags into the students' book bag to take home for the weekend.
In addition to receiving specified food items, we also are grateful for financial donations which are used to purchase needed food items. Anything you can do to help is very much appreciated.
