Food for Hungry Minds has established a
solid track record of success in preparing disadvantaged children to succeed in
good high schools and life. To date, two Hungry Minds schools have been
established, each the product of a
commitment by a primary, launch
corporate partner, Cargill and Navitaire.
Additional sponsors have signed on to
support a class or set of students for the
full three-year program.
How would your company benefit from
sponsoring a classroom of students in a
location where you have operations or
sales? Would you like your employees to
connect personally with the impact of
your company’s citizenship investment?
What would it be like to be associated in
your market with “achieving the
impossible” for some of the nation’s
promising, needy children?
