HOW YOUR GIFT MAKES AN IMPACT

1 in 4 school children in Loudoun County are food insecure. That’s +21,000 children under 18 whose families may struggle to provide adequate, nutritious food at home. 

Data from VDOE National School Lunch Program Free and Reduced Price Eligibility Reports as of 10/31/2022.

Through our Backpack Buddies program, we provide six meals every week to the following schools: Potowmack E.S., Rolling Ridge E.S., Sully E.S., Horizon E.S., Algonkian, E.S., River Bend M.S., Potomac Falls H.S. Additional support helps provide food, diapers, counseling, and more so we can continue to help those in need. 

Your gift to HRTS, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. EIN 85-1417643​

YOUR SUPPORT AT WORK

At HRTS, we are building the tools and partnerships needed to make hunger in Sterling schools a thing of the past.

 

Over 280 students in Sterling receive nutritious meals each week through our Backpack Buddies program, ensuring they have the fuel to learn and thrive, and our collaborations with partners like the Cornerstones Free from Hunger Center provide significant cost-savings, allowing us to do even more.

But we can’t do it alone. Make a gift now to help our team reach more children and families with the urgent assistance they desperately need.
