Grumble Busters - Hitting Hunger in the Gut!

---

Grumble Busters began because we saw students experiencing daily hunger at school.  Some schools have programs but many do not.

Student's often will not ask for food because they are nervous or ashamed and go without. 

The student fridge is a clear glass fridge in the hallway that can supply daily lunch options.  Students simply help themselves.  They take only what they need (no waste) and think of others so there is enough for everyone.  

Schools are faced with shrinking budgets for meal programs.  Polaris Pantry Hot Helpings Lunch Program provides affordable HOT meals that can be easily created and served.

Sometimes hunger can't wait for lunch.  With the Polaris Pantry Snack Rack Program, we provide on-the-go, non-perishable, snacks that students can take with them; right from the rack located in the hallway! 

Summer Grumble Busters happened out of dire need in a few communities.

School programs end, teachers leave the community but tummies are still hungry.

We work with Hamlet Offices to make sure kids can pickup breakfast and lunches and even heat-em-and-eat-em dinners.  Kids shouldn't go hungry in the summer when they should just worry about being kids!
