As a provider of Mental Health care to those in need, it is paramount to support communities beyond our own profession.
As a supporter of good causes, I must share one that does good work with strong impact where it is needed.
The Sheridan Story is based on the philosophy that no child should be hungry. There are over 200,000 children in the state of Minnesota who live in food insecurity.
While there are many programs providing lunch and breakfast to children at school, the weekends remain a gap during which children struggle with hunger.
The Sheridan Story fills the food gap between Friday and Monday, when children are not able to participate in the free or reduced meal programs at school.
Studies have indicated that children who participate in programs that provide a weekend food supply experience increased self-esteem, improved behavior at school, better academic performance, significant improvement in standardized test scores, increased interest in school, and better relationships with school personnel.
Our mission to feed hungry children is motivated by our love for Jesus and our belief in His love for all. Jesus' model of service and sacrifice inspires us and moves us into action.
We believe that fighting child hunger is not a mission exclusive to the Christian faith. We welcome and encourage those of all faiths to partner with us in the fight against child hunger.
- The purpose of The Sheridan Story is to be a resource to hungry children. Therefore, in regards to The Sheridan Story programs, we and all partners will not promote any particular religion or faith.
Where we work and have impact: We work right here locally in the Minneapolis - St. Paul area. We work across all of the Twin Cities, we aren’t restricted to certain school districts.
Isn't it time to get involved?
