This is a recipe for financial insecurity for working families. The poverty rate is at 18.5% overall. We know that over 56% of single parent families live below the poverty level. The 2,200 students that we are working to reach with our weekend nutrition program receive free or reduced lunch at their schools on school days. We are trying to make sure that food insecurity on weekends does not lead to further financial difficulties for those who are already at risk to pay for the necessities of living.<br \/>\nWe plan to gradually transfer responsibility for these backpacks to community organizations (faith based, charitable organizations, corporations, neighborhood groups, etc.,) who will take responsibility for schools or areas containing multiple schools. Using our current model, Northlands Rescue Mission purchases food, and volunteers handle, pack, and deliver to schools. Last year, we served over 750 students. In the transition to community process, we would serve as trainer, overseer, umbrella, safety net. We are confident that we could use &quot;adopt-a-school&quot; or &quot;adopt-a-neighborhood&quot; (if multiple schools) to turn over the ownership and responsibility to community partners.<br \/>\nAny funding requests are for food only.\n<\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: $200,000<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): Other grants, foundations, individual donors<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: September &#8211; June annually<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: Grand Forks, North Dakota<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: 5-14<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Mr<br \/>\nContact First Name: Murray<br \/>\nContact Last Name: Hennessy<br \/>\nContact Title: Grant &amp; Community Relations Director<br \/>\nContact Phone: 701-772-6600 ext201<br \/>\nContact Email: murray@jointhemission.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: Northlands Rescue Mission Legal Name (if Different): Also Known As: Mailing Address: 420 Division Avenue City: Grand Forks State: ND Postal Code: 58201 Main Phone: 701-772-6600 ext201 Main Fax: 701-787-5603 Organization Website: https:\/\/www.northlandsrescuemission.org\/ Employer ID Number: 45-0251562 Organization Tax Status: 501c3 Proposal Information Today&#8217;s Date: 10\/20\/2021 Requested [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=994"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/994\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":995,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/994\/revisions\/995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
