The Full Tummy Program started in 2010 to provide weekend meals and snacks to children who may not always have food at home.
Each week, our elementary students receive a bag with single-serve items to carry them through the weekend.
In middle and high school, students have access to a Full Tummy Pantry – a closet stocked monthly with full-sized foods.
We work with school guidance counselors and teachers to identify students in need.

WHAT IS FOOD INSECURITY?
Food insecurity means that everyone in the home doesn’t have consistent access to adequate, nutritious food. A family experiencing food insecurity may have some members that go hungry and others who do not. For example, parents in food insecure families might have enough food to feed their children, but might experience hunger themselves.
Food insecurity can have a lasting impact on a child’s health. This is why it’s so important to make sure all children have enough food at home.
Mighty Moms is on a mission to see all children graduate with a full mind and a full tummy. This program has become an important part in the lives of so many children.
It’s our volunteers and supporters who make it happen. Delivery moms meet us on Wednesdays to pick up children’s bags and deliver to their assigned school(s). Our bag packers rotate every other week, packing and sorting 600+ bags per week. It takes up to $15,000 a month in monetary and in-kind donations to make this program happen, and that amount continues to grow.
Mighty Moms has so many thoughtful, caring, and precious people helping us keep the Full Tummy project going every week. Through their efforts and support, they help us with food drives, barrel deliveries, purchasing and unloading groceries, spreading the word about our mission, and lifting up our group in prayer. We could not do this without the help of these supporters, volunteers, churches, and the many blessings from our loving Heavenly Father.
