To the Editor:
The Community Lunch Program for Kids (CLPK) of Norwood, Norfolk and Raymondville would like to express our sincerest appreciation to Stewart’s Shops for their recent donation of $500 from the Stewart’s Shops Matching Holiday Gift Fund!
Stewart’s has been a great supporter of CLPK since our program of addressing food insecurity began in 2016.
CLPK provides large boxes of nutritious food to local families when school is not in session and children do not have the “safety net” of the free/reduced breakfast/lunch program.
CLPK began in July of 2016 with 24 families with 51 children. Last year, 2020, CLPK distributed 33,151 meals to 306 unique children from 121 unique families in the Norwood Norfolk Raymondville area!
