Recommendations for the Fiscal Year

Laura Franco J. Calvin Lauderbach Elementary fully supports this item and is
grateful for the City of Chula Vista's consideration of $15,000 for
the San Diego Food Bank's Food4Kids Backpack Program. For
many of our students, the weekend creates a real gap in food
access that can be hard to see but impossible to ignore in the
classroom. The backpack a child carries home on Friday could
make a meaningful difference by Monday morning in their
energy, their focus, and their ability to engage. We respectfully
urge the Council's support for this item.

The San Diego Food Bank proudly supports this item and is
grateful for the City of Chula Vista's consideration of $15,000 for
our Food4Kids Backpack Program. This funding would provide 75
students at Lauderbach, Harborside, and Montgomery
Elementary Schools with nutritious weekend meals throughout
the school year. Food insecurity directly affects a child's ability
to learn and thrive, and the Food4Kids program helps ensure
children have nourishment throughout the week, not just during
school hours. We respectfully urge the Council's support for this
item.

Elsa Hernandez Harborside Elementary wholeheartedly supports this item and is
grateful for the City of Chula Vista's consideration of $15,000 for
the Food4Kids Backpack Program. Hunger doesn't take
weekends off, and neither does its impact on our students. The
San Diego Food Bank's program helps ensure children have
access to nutritious food throughout the week, not just when
school is in session. For many Harborside families, this
backpack would be a critical lifeline. Well-nourished students
come to school more focused, engaged, and ready to learn. We
respectfully urge the Council's support for this item.
