Weekly Update

Hi Everyone!  I was talking with one of our awesome donors the other day and she told me that while at one of her kids' functions, she was talking about Bear Necessities and some of the other John Weldon parents had no idea 1) what Bear Necessities was and 2) that there were kids at John Weldon that would need such a service. They were truly shocked.  It just reminded me (and prompted this reminder to you) that WE need to be telling people about Bear Necessities!  I know that there are more kids that are hungry than the 20-30 that we feed every week.  In every single school in our district there are kids that don't have enough in their homes... Can you imagine if every school had a community working together the way we are to end that hunger?  Keep talking... please keep spreading the word!
