“Keeping people informed about FORK's free food support programs, as well as providing the community with details of our collaborative 'food for kids' partnerships is literally our biggest challange. What we see as one of the most important tools in this task is FORK’s annual newsletter.”

“Take what you need, Give what you can!”
The program provides children a 'free food' resource during their school day and provides families a year-round, 5 day a week, emergency 'food cupboard'.
FORK Legacy Fund provides financial stability and long-term sustainability to both Feed Our Rural Kids Inc, as well as other local childhood nutrition support programs.
