Delivering Bags of Hope

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

The School District of Janesville is holding its 17th annual Delivering Bags of Hope food distribution on  December 12, 2026

To sign yourself or your group up to volunteer, you can fill out the form 

The School District of Janesville has 53% of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. 

With over 9,000 students in the district, that is over 5,000 students who often do not know if they will eat in between school days.

BOH’s mission is simple yet vital: to ensure that SDJ students have the nutrition they need to learn, grow, and thrive—both in school and at home. We do this through several initiatives:

• Supplying teachers with snack bags for students in need,
• Providing $100 grocery gift cards to families during spring break, and
   

Distributing two weeks’ worth of food and essentials to 350 district families each December, when school-provided meals and snacks are unavailable.

Can't come to the distribution? You can purchase items for student snack bags from the Bags of Hope Wish List
