Wellspring Interfaith Social Services announces Child’s Full Plate Initiative

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) - As the holiday season approaches, Wellspring Interfaith Social Services is working to ensure that children in the community have access to nutritious meals when school is out for winter break.

Through its Child’s Full Plate initiative, Wellspring aims to raise $50,000 to provide at least 1,000 food boxes to children in the community, helping ensure they have meals during the school winter break.

Each $50 donation will help provide a box filled with nutritious, kid-friendly meals selected with guidance from a registered dietitian.

Wellspring plans to distribute the food boxes through a drive-through distribution event in December. Children must be present in the vehicle to receive a food box.

To make a donation or learn more about the Child’s Full Plate initiative, visit www.wellspringinterfaith.org, or contact Wellspring Interfaith Social Services directly.
