In Loving Memory of Crystal Branch: Supporting the Southern Boone Buddy Pack Program

In honor of the beautiful soul that was Crystal Branch, we are coming together to celebrate her life and continue the incredible work she started. Crystal's dedication to the Southern Boone Buddy Pack Program was truly inspiring. She went above and beyond, ensuring that every child had enough to eat, even outside of school hours.

Crystal's commitment to delivering Buddy Packs to classrooms on Thursday nights, ensuring that children had food for the weekend, touched the lives of so many families in our community. In lieu of flowers, Crystal's family has requested donations to support this vital program that meant so much to her.

About the Southern Boone Buddy Pack Program:

The Buddy Pack Program provides essential food assistance to families and students in need within the Southern Boone County community. By supplying individual servings of nutritious, kid-friendly foods like cereal, oatmeal, canned fruit, and juice, the program aims to alleviate hunger during weekends and holidays when school meals are not available.

Additionally, each month, families receive a Moser's voucher for a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk. This program not only addresses immediate hunger but also helps families avoid the difficult choices between buying food and meeting other financial obligations.

Why Your Support Matters:

Did you know that 20% or 1 in 5 children in Missouri are hungry or at risk of hunger? The Buddy Pack Program plays a crucial role in combating food insecurity, which can have profound effects on a child's health, development, and academic performance.

By supporting this program, you're not only providing nourishment but also offering hope and stability to families facing challenging circumstances. Your generosity can make a lasting impact, ensuring that children in our community have the resources they need to thrive.

How You Can Help:

Join us in honoring Crystal's memory by making a donation to the Southern Boone Buddy Pack Program. Your contribution, no matter the amount, will directly benefit children and families in need, allowing them to access nutritious food and build a brighter future.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support. Together, we can continue Crystal's legacy of love and generosity, making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Branch Family
