Our Students Get Involved With the Nehemiah Project The Nehemiah Project is sponsoring a program that will deliver bags of food to Wright Elementary School for 100 students on Fridays through the school year. The program is being run out of their newly-acquired building, The Promise House, at 1314 12th Street, Altoona. Food is delivered to The Promise House from the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank (CPFB) where it is inventoried and organized to prepare for the bags to be packed. The food is then packed into grocery bags for each student. The grocery bags are delivered to Wright School on Friday morning at 9 AM and packed inside backpacks supplied by the program. Our students will help with all the steps in this process. It is hoped that the program will expand to the other elementary schools in the coming years.
