Student Hunger Service Project

The Bryant PTSA and Administration are partnering with Hunger Intervention Program to give a hands-on opportunity for our community to learn about and help students facing hunger every day in Seattle. The District has programs to feed in-need students while they’re at school. But on the weekends and school breaks, students need extra assistance to assure that hunger isn’t an obstacle to learning during the week.

Every month a different grade will hold a food drive to collect the food needed to fill 100 weekend meal packs. At the end of the month families come together for an evening packing party. The whole family can join!

Contact Nina Mettler for information or to help.

5th grade families, donations by 4/3 & packing party 4/5!

The HIP Packing Party will be Friday evening 4/5 in the cafeteria from 6:30-7:15pm! Food donations must be dropped off at school by 2pm on Wednesday, 4/3. Collection bins are located in the main office and each 5th grade classroom.

Please sign up to donate food and volunteer to help! We need food donations for specific items and parent volunteers at the packing party. All food drive donations need to be recorded on the Sign-up Genius so we can confirm we have the correct quantities of items to make our goal of 125 healthy HIP packs.

If you aren’t able to purchase and bring food to school but still want to contribute, we have a GivingFuel page so you can donate money which will be used to purchase any remaining items needed.

We need your help! Last year HIP saw a significant increase in demand for Healthy HIP Packs. The Bryant Student Hunger Service Project aims to provide a hands-on opportunity for our community to learn about and help students facing food insecurity every day in Seattle.
