"This is the best thing anyone has done for me. I like the food, and I appreciate it."
Student, Redlands Unified School District
"You have helped my family in more ways than you think. I could never repay you for your help. You taught my kids that somebody cares."
Parent, Chino Valley Unified School District
"When I found out that my student was coming to school every Monday very hungry and weak because his family had no food, I was very relieved to find out that thanks to the United Way, we could help him."
Teacher, Ontario-Montclair School District
Each weekend, IEUW KidSmart provides backpacks of nutritious food to 1,200 homeless and very low-income children. You can help!
For example, $150 can sponsor a child to receive a backpack of food each weekend for a year, and provides a child nourishment and a sense of belonging.
