Kitchen On The Street partners with Arizona schools to provide "Bags of Hope" to children in need. On a Saturday in May, photographer, Mark Peterman spent the morning with Lisa and a group of volunteers that quickly assembled a large number of lunch packages for students. Special thanks to Mark's crew including Laura Flagler for doing the hair, makeup and on set styling. You can find out more information about the organization through Kitchen On the Street website.
Here is part of the story from the Self Magazine website:
"Forty-one year old Phoenix-native Lisa Scarpinato and her husband started Kitchen on the Street after learning that children in their town were starving on weekends (when they don't have access to free school lunches). Through her non-profit, more than 300 needy kids are sent home on Fridays with backpacks full of food. Take it from her: "Don't make assumptions. There are folks who show up at food banks in very nice cars, but what you can't know is they may be living in those cars."
