Now in its third year, the Extra Mile Program ensures students and their families facing food insecurity receive the nutrition they need to thrive.
Through a partnership with the Mountaineer Food Bank and DoorDash, we deliver fresh produce, meat, dairy, and shelf-stable items right to families’ doorsteps.
Adequate nutrition is vital for success in and out of the classroom, and we’re proud to break barriers to learning through this program!
Check out the incredible impact we’ve made so far in the graphic below. Let’s keep going the extra mile for our students!
