SPOON Foundation Receives Grant for Orphan Nutrition Program in Oregon
The SPOON Foundation has received a Meyer Memorial Trust grant for $39,310 to launch a pilot program in Lane County, Oregon, to improve nutrition for foster children in the area. In the SPOON Foundation's first seven years of programming, nearly 3,000 children were directly impacted through intervention of preventable malnutrition in the early stages of life (with 85,000 more children reached through training, education and advocacy efforts.) The foundation operates in multiple countries around the world, and this grant represents an opportunity to further stimulate the positive impact it has within the United States.
