RED BAG
- FILL a Bag
- FEED a child
- STOP Childhood Hunger
Over 1,850 homeless students in Seminole County Public Schools need our help.
Please get your Red Bag in the Metro Lobby. It will serve as a reminder to pick-up a few extra food items on sale each week.
Metro has adopted Wicklow Elementary in Sanford, FL. They have over 40 homeless children. On Fridays the children are sent home with a backpack of food that helps to feed their families. The food donation are packed-up and delivered to the school every two weeks. The food collection will continue for the entire school year. Visit the Red Bag website to see what items are needed.
