Submitted by KATU Communitie... on Tue, 2010-02-02 11:45

Studies show that kids function better in school when they're not hungry but not all parents can afford to send their kids to school with snacks.

That's where the Portland Schools Foundation, an independent, community-based organization, comes in.

They have partnered with Safeway and are asking people to donate healthy, non-perishable snacks (like dried fruits and raisins, nuts, trail mix, granola bars, baked chips and multi-grain crackers) to help out.
