Our district is Partnering with the SA Food Bank to pilot a brand-new weekend Food Distribution program. The Student Weekend Food Support Program is designed to provide families with a free, consistent supply of supplemental food to help nourish students over the weekend.

Program Highlights:

• What You Receive: Approximately 30 pounds of food per family per distribution, including fresh produce, dry goods, and family-friendly items.

• Frequency: Every other week on Friday afternoons.

• Cost: 100% FREE to all participating families.

• Reusable Bag Initiative: Each participating family will receive a reusable tote bag at their first distribution, which you will simply bring back for each future distribution.

• Who Can Join: Any family with a child/children attending Natalia ISD.

Before we can officially launch the program, we need to ensure we have enough interest from our families. If your family could benefit from weekend food support and would like to participate, please take 2 minutes to complete our quick interest survey:
