The Board of Directors of the Kiwanis Club of Ellicott City is organizing a Spring Break Backpack food program at a local elementary school during the upcoming 10-day school break in April 2020. This is a new service project for our club, and a new way to strengthen our partnership with Howard County Public Schools. In consultation with the HCPS Partnerships Office, we have been connected to a local elementary school in Columbia.
The student community at this elementary school faces extreme food insecurity. Many kids are not eating at home at all, and those who do eat at home are not getting enough food. Most of the behavioral issues seen at school are rooted in the fact that the students are hungry. We partnered with this school for a highly-successful Winter Break Backpack food program in December 2019. Our Kiwanis club was able to provide 48 students with backpacks filled with 30 nutritious meals and snacks.
The school was overjoyed to receive our help, and we want to be able to continue to support the school and its students. The school leadership has asked that, if possible, we create backpacks for 50 students to take home during Spring Break. Each backpack would be filled with three meals a day (plus a few snacks) for 10 days, inclusive of foods that kids can make for themselves without parental assistance. That is 30 meals per student. For 50 students, that is 1,500 meals.
Our Kiwanis club wants to do even more. In fact, we want to double our impact. We have a goal of packing 100 backpacks for the students at this elementary school. When we accomplish this, even more kids in our community won’t need to worry about where their next meal will come from during the days when school, often their weekday source of lunch, is closed.
In order to double the number of backpacks we are creating, we have set a goal of $1,500. Each backpack and its contents costs $30. We encourage individuals, organizations, and businesses to join with us by sponsoring the cost of a backpack. A donation of any size matters to us and to the kids in our community who will benefit from your generosity.
This is our challenge. Kids in our community are hungry and Kiwanis is here to address that. Will you help us to double our impact?
The Kiwanis Club of Ellicott City is very pleased to announce our Capital District Kiwanis Teenager of the Year winner for 2020, Ms. Alexandra Cucchiaro! She was also chosen as the winner for Division 4 (applicants from Howard, Anne Arundel, and Prince George's County)!
The purpose of this award is to give recognition to deserving teenagers for their academic achievements, citizenship, service to their school and community, growth and responsibility in his/her family unit, character, and leadership performance. The application process is open to all 13-18 year-olds in the Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, and DC area. Each applicant competes at the community level and, if chosen, moves on to a divisional and district level of the competition.
Alexandra is a rising senior at Mount Hebron High School in Howard County, Maryland. She is extremely involved in extracurricular activities at school, as well as in the community. Additionally, between all of her activities, Alexandra finds time to be dedicated to her school studies where she pulls a very heavy course load.
In her application essay, she wrote, "That’s what it felt like in the early morning hours of January 18, as I was completing yet another plunge as a Super Plunger for Special Olympics Maryland. I had spent months raising more than $11,000 for the honor of joining a select few other Super Plungers who jumped into the bay for 24 hours straight in mid-January. Rational people might not consider it much of a reward for raising so much money, but this incredible experience is one most people will never have and is one I will always cherish. What made it more rewarding is knowing that the 8,000+ athletes served by Special Olympics Maryland will be able to continue participating in the sports they love thanks to the money raised by this extraordinary event."
Thank you, Alexandra, for your amazing service to your local community! The Kiwanis Club of Ellicott City wishes you all the best in your future endeavors as you continue to change the world through your passion for service! ... See MoreSee Less
