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.

TUFF Bags Volunteer of the Month for May is Lisa Bailey!
* Lisa has been volunteering with us for 8 months.
* A friend told her about TUFF Bags and invited her to a packing, and she's been a regular ever since. (we love that
)
* Lisa says her favorite part of volunteering with us is meeting new people and helping others.
* When asked why being involved in our community is important to her, Lisa said "I feel that I have been given so much, it is time to pay it forward".
* Lisa's encouragement to anyone who hasn't volunteered with us before is that it will be the most rewarding two hours you will have all week. (you know we love that!!)
