Paper Bag Campaign



We're helping more hungry children get healthy lunches in other schools across the country. Bridges Outreach program has informed us that "Child Nutrition programs are up for federal reauthorization this spring. That means that Congress will have the opportunity to make vast improvements to programs such as School Breakfast and Lunch, Summer Food, and Women, Infants and Children (WIC), so that more children in need will have access to healthy food at home, at school and in the community, helping them learn and grow to their full potential!" Our Campus Ministers gathered the support of their BA sisters to join their voices to the NJ Anti-Hunger Coalition (NJAHC) by decorating lunch bags that will be presented at a press conference at the State House in Trenton and delivered to our Congressional Representative. CHILDREN NEED NUTRITION TO LEARN AND GROW! At BA, we care and are committed to alleviate the suffering in our world.
