Dare to Care’s

Nurses Fighting Hunger Program

Dare to Care’s mission is to help ensure that ‘No Child Goes Hungry’ in our schools.  We know that there are many children who not only come to school with no food – but also go home to no food.  The one-time grant that allowed high school nurses access to food at the Food Bank last year has expired.

Dare to Care has taken over that program and opened it up to all school district nurses and FSSC’s.  The pictures you see on this page are samples of the food items we provide.

To Access Food:

1. Download and complete form – ensuring you include your school name.
2. Fax to the Food Bank at 907-277-7368. The Food Bank will then pull the inventory and load your car when you arrive.
3. No money is required. All food has been paid for by Dare to Care.

Dare to Care asks that you please keep a tally of how many children are being fed through this program. Please use the Contact form on this website to inform us monthly how many children are benefiting. This information is needed for our fundraising and grant applications.

Thank you for all you do for our children!
