Sign Up Sheet
Carry On Bags (COB) is a nonprofit organization that was formed to address the problem of food insecurity for preschool through 12th grade students in Jefferson County, Iowa. We offer bags with snacks and simple meals that allow children to "carry on" without school meals over weekends and during school breaks. The bags are offered to all students in the Fairfield Community School District and Maharishi School (MSAE). All information is kept confidential between COB and the school. Click the link belo
Carry On Bags was started in 2014. Because of generous donations from our community, we were able to successfully provide food for the entire 2014/15 school and up through the current school year, 2019/2020.
