CORBINS LEGACY

The Mission of Corbin’s Legacy is to eliminate food insecurity and healthcare inequity for at risk elementary school children. Our Core Values are: Service: Commitment to providing food and medical services to children in need. Inclusiveness: Helping all children in need without question, judgement, or prejudice. Caring: Willingness to act to help children in need. Voice: For those who cannot speak for themselves. Our Vision is that no child goes hungry or without need medical care. Corbin’s Legacy was established in honor and memory of Corbin Leafman a Title 1 Kindergarten teacher who died at the age of 30 from cancer. She asked that she be remembered for how she lived, not how she died. Corbin’s claim to fame was, among other things, that she walked through the school lunch line holding up a $20 bill to make sure that the lunch ladies knew that every child was to get a hot lunch – no matter what. Every evening in Arizona 1 in 4 children go to bed hungry and 1 in 6 do not get the medical services, they need. Corbin’s Legacy serves Title I elementary school children every day, in some way. We Feed Children and Provide Healthcare Through: Feed A Hungry Child Over Break – backpacks of food sent home, so children eat when school is not in session Weekend Food Warriors – backpacks of food sent home on Friday's with 7 complete meals so that children who are often left alone, will eat.
