Chili Dinner Fundraiser to Relieve Student Lunch Debt

Times have been tight for many families for a while, and during the shutdown the Republicans in Congress are doing everything they can to keep families from receiving critical SNAP food support. Public schools play a critical role in ensuring children get at least one square meal a day, but for those less fortunate this can mean racking up student lunch debt. We are Democrats: we believe in working together to help other people, and at our monthly meeting on November 11th we will be having a chili dinner to raise funds to relieve student lunch debt at Mill Creek Schools.



Mill Creek Schools—two elementaries, a middle school, and a high school—average about $500 per semester in lunch debt per school. Fortunately, one elementary school has an angel donor fund to help with lunch debt, but the other three schools could use our help.

Come early to our next monthly meeting and enjoy homemade chili, cornbread, soda, and all the fixing. We are suggesting a $10 minimum donation per person, but every dollar helps. Our goal is to be well on our way to completely wiping out at least one school’s debt. We will also be encouraging donations through social media posts and an article in the Hendricks County Republican.

Please consider joining us, and bringing your friends and neighbors for a great cause. And if you can’t make it but would still love to help out, please donate via this link: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/hcdems-fundraising

Hope to see you there!
