Operation143

Operation143 provides food to students living in various school districts in and around the Pottstown, Pennyslvania area who would go without food over the weekend. We work to help homeless and hungry students succeed by addressing the issue of childhood hunger. Operation143 serves alongside individuals and organizations to collect food and materials. Volunteers pack these items into backpacks, which are sent out to qualifying students who discretely pick up the backpacks each Friday at a designated place inside the school and return them on Monday. The process then begins again for the next week. The program has served 85,218 meals that were sent home to 542 students over the year.
