Opportunity Bank
Activity Fee Scholarship

FIND Food Bank, The Desert’s Regional Food Bank, has created a scholarship customized to fund students in extracurricular activities who are limited due to finances. Extracurricular activities build leadership skills, confidence, empowerment, and social skills in a child’s life. This program will incorporate financial literacy training and provide personalized management by a FIND Community Health Worker. Recipients will also have the chance to work with local Universities to support studies of program effectiveness and impact. We are here to help build the youth in our community by providing a scholarship to help children find their passions in life.

Why Opportunity Bank?

Studies show that the root causes of hunger are caused by lack of equitable access to healthy and culturally relevant foods, private and public benefits, and educational and professional opportunities. The Opportunity Bank Scholarship Program was created to address the root causes of hunger specific to educational attainment, work force development, and financial literacy. This program will provide access for children to opportunities that can support their development to skill sets needed to thrive in these areas in order to help break their cycle of food insecurity and poverty.
