This spring semester of the 2024-2025 school year, the Eagle Eats program will take flight. The organization which is now a part of the Lake Andes Food and Wellness Council, has recently sent out registration forms as well as an online link to sign up to receive a monthly weekend food bag. Online registration has since closed and the team is working on getting the number of families that are in need compiled in order to be able to put a budget together to give them a picture of the logistics of getting students the food bags starting in February. The program will serve the students the rest of this semester with a re-evaluation to follow this summer to make any necessary program adjustments.

The Eagle Eats program was one of four to be a $1,000 Mighty Mission recipient in December. Mighty MoJo Coffee Co. sponsors this annual pay it forward event donating to several local organizations in communities that their coffee truck visits.

The Eagle Eats team is excited to be one of the recipients of the Mighty Mission and to be able to get the program off the ground. If individuals or groups are interested in volunteer hours, the Eagle Eats team is looking for people to help pack the monthly bags.
