The Woodland Food Closet and STEAC are wrapping up their first school year of collaboration on the Food Packs for Kids Program, which has distributed 3,200 food packs to students in Woodland and Davis. - The program provides kid-friendly, no-prep food items like applesauce, granola bars, and juice boxes to bridge the weekend gap for food-insecure children.
- STEAC orders bulk food cases, while the Woodland Food Closet organizes packing events and coordinates with schools for distribution. - The partnership supplies weekend food to 660 children each month across multiple elementary and middle schools.
Both agencies plan to continue the program next school year, strengthening the food safety net for Yolo County families.
