ASDF & IH2
In the Fall of 2023, the Armstrong School District Foundation partnered with Inspired Hearts and Hands to help better serve our students and their families. Through this initiative, we have been able to help feed and gift families within our schools who would benefit from this assistance. Each year, our goal is to help provide families in need with Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter Food boxes around the holidays.
We appreciate all that Inspired Hearts and Hands has done for our students and we are excited to continue to grow in our partnership!
IH2 Assistance Programs
Inspired Hearts and Hands (IH2)’s Meals Squared Program addresses food insecurity and nourishment in the local community through the distribution of non-perishable food boxes, each containing family-friendly meals, kid-friendly snacks, and a grocery gift card for fresh proteins and ingredients. IH2’s food boxes are distributed several times throughout the year, particularly during the holidays when expanded support is most needed. Each food box contains both a $10 grocery shopping card for fresh ingredients/proteins as well as the components necessary to prepare 5-6 essential meals.

The mission centers on proactively sharing joy, hope, and love for the holidays. The program also helps alleviate the financial and emotional stress that many in poverty face at the holidays. IH2 collects wish lists from each beneficiary, and with the help of an extensive team of individuals, corporate partners, and community groups, angels set to work collecting and wrapping gifts for needing families in our area.
