🥫🧡 SPREAD THE LOVE! SUPPORT NOURISHING NINJAS! 🧡🥫
The Manassas Park Education Foundation and Manassas Park City Schools are collecting canned foods to help keep our Nourishing Ninjas weekend food bags stocked!
Each week, Nourishing Ninjas provides students experiencing food insecurity with packages of easy-to-prepare meals and snacks to enjoy over the weekend.
One of our biggest ongoing expenses is canned meals. For our younger students, familiar favorites like Beefaroni, SpaghettiOs, and chicken noodle soup are especially popular. As students get older, we try to offer a wider variety of foods that appeal to their developing tastes.
Our goal is simple: provide satisfying meals that students can prepare independently, without needing a can opener, extra ingredients, or complicated instructions. Just heat and eat!
🥫 WHAT DO WE NEED?
✅ Canned pastas, including SpaghettiOs, Beefaroni, and ravioli
✅ Ready-to-eat soups
✅ Canned chili
✅ Hearty stews
✅ Other complete, shelf-stable meals
Pop-top cans are especially appreciated! Please donate only unexpired, nonperishable foods.
