Philando Feeds The Children

The Philando Castile Feeds The Children Campaign was established in honor of 32 years old Philando Castile who was Killed on A Routine traffic Stop in Falcon Heights MN. July 6,2016. Philando started working at the age of 13 and held a meaningful job until his untimely death. Philando was Dedicated to his job ,He Paid for children's meals out of his Own pocket ,He knew every Child by name,Their Allergies and the  pin Codes for their  Accounts. Working in the cafeteria for over 12 years Philando understood how Important it was for the children to have a nutritious meal in order for them to achieve academically in Class. Philando would get to work early enough to help the disabled children get off the bus. Most families live pay check to pay check ,No one knows if these 2 meals are the only Nutritious meals that they receive Daily. It's A Challenge for Most Families to Pay for the Meals because of their economic Struggles, It's So easy to over qualify for Free and Reduced lunches because of the Low threshold!! For the Past 3 and a half years The Philando Castile Relief Foundation has actively assisted Numerous Organizations and Families in The Greater Minneapolis Minnesota  area  by providing assistance to Families who have lost a Loved one to Gun Violence by providing funerary  assistance and grief counseling  referrals. We've also Assisted with providing donations to cover the costs of Breakfast and lunches for Families with unpaid balances in Several Districts  within  the  city. There's Also the Philando Castile Memorial Scholarship Fund at Central High School in  St. Paul  that Supports an inner City child   with Secondary Education. It's So important that our Children gets the proper nutrition everyday. Living at Poverty level is A barrier in reducing these School Meal debts ! At times you have to ask yourself  Do I Pay for School Lunches or Do I pay Rent, which is More important? There are other Barriers that prevent Families from Filling out the Application,  Language is another barrier as well as Citizen Status.  Families are afraid to fill out the application for Fear of Detainment or Deportation. We have to Protect, Provide, and Nuture our Children, These Are The Future Leaders Of This Great Country. Due to the Coronavirus It's going To Be Very difficult To Pay This Extra Debt! In some households NO One is Working. Please Find it In your Heart To Make A Donation. No Gift Is Too Small or Too Large. We Want Our children to Succeed ! To  Be The Best Human Being They Can Be ! Thank You In Advance
