Hilary Duff to Appear at Tice Elementary School for Food Program
Saturday, February 28th, 2009As many of you know Hilary Duff is all about helping those less fortunate, that especially goes for children in school that don’t have much. Hilary has a program called, “Blessings in a Backpack” that feeds elementary school children and their families over the weekends when a child is not in school. She just doesn’t want to see any child going without food just because school doors close on Friday nights. I saw woo hoo for her.
In this program each child is given a backpack full of food every Friday before they head for home. I say this is definitely a great thing she’s doing. What about you?
In Lee County, more than 62% of students in grades K-12 participate in the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program - a jump of nearly 12% in just one school year.
She is due to appear at the school on March 4, 2009.
