Neighbors For Kids (NFK) is offering “picnic baskets” every Monday and
Thursday, from 4:00 – 6:00 pm. Staff are preparing healthy, kid-friendly
meals and fun enrichment activities to support local families. NFK is a
sponsor of ODE’s Child Nutrition Program (SFSP), so all children ages 1-18
can receive five days of freshly prepared breakfasts and lunches.
Thanks to the ODE-Farm to School grant, every week these baskets have
enrichment supplies, ingredients and fun projects for children. Activities focus
on Oregon agriculture, health, culinary arts and gardening. For example, this
month kids are learning about apples harvested in the state, and they get to
prepare and enjoy their own fresh apple pies!
In addition to picnic baskets the Kids Zone is offering “Zoomies”, a new on-
line club held every Wednesday, for both preschool and school-age youth. It
offers a variety of social, physical and hands-on activities in a safe, supervised
virtual platform.
For more information, to sign up your child, or to pick up picnic baskets at the
site please send an e-mail directly to frontdesk.nfk@gmail.com. NFK’s youth
facility is located at: 634 SE Highway 101 in Depoe Bay, Oregon.
