Research from Feeding America underlines this need, with Louisiana ranking<br \/>\namong the top three states for child hunger and child poverty. During summer and holiday breaks, school<br \/>\ncafeterias are closed, leaving many children without their only guaranteed meal of the day, increasing hunger and<br \/>\nfinancial hardship. For many families, the inability to consistently put food on the table requires them to forego<br \/>\nother essential needs, creating a mental burden that affects overall wellbeing. In Tangipahoa Parish, 1 in every 5<br \/>\nchildren live in food-insecure households and face uncertainty around meals outside of school cafeteria lunches.<br \/>\nHaving a balanced diet supports academic success, as food insecurity is linked to disrupted attention and lower<br \/>\nscores in math and reading. As children are the future of our world, it is imperative that they receive balanced<br \/>\ndiets to support healthy physical and social development.<br \/>\nOur program, Feeding the Future, provides children in food-insecure households with consistent access to<br \/>\nsupport and nourishment. This free assistance operation increases the number of meals cooked each month and<br \/>\nprovides children with protein-rich meals. Additionally, nutritious snack bags will be distributed to promote healthy<br \/>\nliving. These meals and snack bags will be provided every day that the food bank is open and can be picked up<br \/>\nas needed in our drive-thru line or bike and walk-up line. We project that these services will assist over 2,000<br \/>\nchildren monthly, and further support families by alleviating financial strain related to groceries. The Feeding the<br \/>\nFuture initiative is designed to address the rising rate of child hunger in Louisiana and provide children in the<br \/>\ncommunity with the nutrition needed to learn, play, and grow into the leaders of tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: $75,000<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): Walmart, and Entergy<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: January 2027-December 2027<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: Tangipahoa Parish and surrounding areas<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: Children up to 18 years of age<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Mrs.<br \/>\nContact First Name: Mia<br \/>\nContact Last Name: Reeves<br \/>\nContact Title: Development Manager<br \/>\nContact Phone: 985-542-4676<br \/>\nContact Email: mia@ourdailybreadhammond.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: Our Daily Bread of Tangipahoa Legal Name (if Different): Also Known As: Mailing Address: P.O.
