A student who is hungry—or who is worried about whether or not they will be able to eat tonight—is a student who will struggle to learn. While the image of a hungry child is unpleasant to contemplate, the sad reality is that too many Irving ISD students—more than 75% of our student population, in fact— face food insecurity on a daily or intermittent basis. The good news? There’s something that we can do about it, which is why Irving Schools Foundation created Food For Thought in 2019.Since program inception, we’ve distributed more than 50,000 meals to an estimated 2,500 students—and with your help, we’ll be able to sustain and grow this vital initiative moving forward.
