Fenn Food Drive

The students at the Fenn School are preparing for their winter food drive. They have been partnering with Open Table for over three decades and will help this year by collecting food for recently resettled Afghan people and for Open Table’s Fuel for School program. The latter prepares “Kids Bags” which provide a weekend’s worth of wholesome, calorie-dense, nutritious food and snacks that supplement a child’s access to food and can help alleviate hunger. Open Table is also partnering with local organizations to support the 2000+ Afghan refugees resettling in Massachusetts this year. They are hoping to make these families feel welcome and respected by providing familiar and culturally important foods. Pictured above are two slides from a deck being presented at Fenn to explain the programs, the second feature food photos that Jeanine asked me to take for the project.
