She will be there to support Blessings in a Backpack, a program designed to feed elementary school children and their families who may not have any or enough food outside of school.
In Lee County, more than 62% of students in grades K-12 participate in the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program - a jump of nearly 12% in just one school year.
Every Friday, students receive their backpacks with food that requires little to no preparation. The program aims to not only to prevent families from going hungry, but to increase test scores, improve reading skills, boost positive behavior, improve health and increase attendance.
Tice Elementary will not open to the public for Duff's appearance.

Ela vai estar lá para apoiar o Blessings in a Backpack, que é um programa para alimentar crianças do ensino fundamental e suas familias que não tem nenhuma ou pouca comida.
Toda sexta-feira, os alunos recebem suas mochilas com os alimentos que exigem pouca ou nenhuma preparação.
