Project Topeka

Weekend food bags are given to three local schools every week during the school year. The schools are: -randolph elementary - estimated enrollment 340 -lowman hill elementary - estimated enrollment 330 -highland park central elementary - estimated enrollment 330 all are usd 501 schools. We provide roughly 1,000 bags per week for 36 weeks of the school year. Yearly spend in 2024 was around 140,000.00. Food is purchased from seabrook apple market or purchased by our board members from sam's club or local grocery stores. Board members are then reimbursed for the purchases. The program has been in place since 2017.

Both non-perishable food and monetary donations are collected under the project topeka food drive name and distributed to agencies depending on their statistical food usage.
