A child who arrives at school hungry cannot learn what is put in front of her. ![boys_fp](https://thegardenmission.org/hs-fs/hubfs/boys_fp.png?width=800&height=575&name=boys_fp.png) ### How the Feeding Program Works Twice a week we serve at least 120 meals at a rural K-6 school. Mothers from the community come and cook and serve, and when there are leftovers they carry them home to their own families. We sit and eat together every time. On national holidays, and at [graduations](https://thegardenmission.org/education?hsLang=en), we put on something bigger, because a child should get a party and not only a plate.

We have served that school every year since. The land we are purchasing is how we will stop buying future meals and start growing them. See our [Garden Project](https://thegardenmission.org/garden-project?hsLang=en) page to see how you can help us do this. ![boy_trash](https://thegardenmission.org/hs-fs/hubfs/boy_trash.png?width=800&height=575&name=boy_trash.png) # A Dollar Feeds A Child **$75** feeds one child for the whole school year. **$10 a month** feeds a child and helps us reach more. **$10,000** feeds every child, teacher, and mother at the school for a full school year.
