TUFF Bags is working to eradicate childhood hunger, as well as provide education, skill building, and community service for at-risk youth in the juvenile justice system. Approximately 3,800 children in Tuscarawas County experience food insecurity, which refers to a lack of regular access to nutritional food.
The food these children receive through TUFF Bags not only nourishes their bodies, but helps them reach their full academic and social potential by allowing them to leave school on Friday without the worry of going hungry until returning to school on Monday.
TUFF Bags is currently serving approximately 1,900 children in six school districts in Tuscarawas County: Indian Valley, Newcomerstown, Dover, Claymont, Tusky Valley, and Tuscarawas Central Catholic, as well as STAR Alternative School, Quaker Digital Academy, four HARCATUS Pre-school Learning Centers, Buckeye Career Center and Strasburg Area Homeschool Co-Op.
100% of every donation is used to help provide weekend meals for food insecure children in our community.
