Kids Can't Learn If They are Hungry

“You don’t know what timing you have. I have two kids, one in elementary school and one in middle school, and I didn’t know how I was going to feed them. I only have 3 cans of food in the house and my food stamps weren’t coming in for 2 and a half weeks.” —parent of a child in the Weekend Backpack Food Program

CIS of Durham in the Schools

“Durham mall is site for center: Alternative school will see 100 teens” The News and Observer Feb. 24, 2007
