Volunteers handing out food at a community distribution

OUR PROGRAMS

From Empty Plates to Bright Futures.

Hunger relief is where everything begins. Our programs focus on children and families where they are: at school, at home, and in their community.

Program 1 — Weekend Meal Packs for Kids

Full Weekends, Focused Mondays.

Every Friday, children identified by partner schools will receive a discreet pack of kid-friendly, nutritious food (breakfasts, lunches, and snacks) to carry them through the weekend. No child will be singled out and no family will have to ask.

Includes: shelf-stable proteins, whole grains, fruit, milk boxes, healthy snacks.

Impact: $20 = one child's weekend of meals

Program 2 — Family Grocery Boxes

Groceries With Dignity.

We will provide monthly and emergency grocery boxes for families facing job loss, medical bills, or rising rent. Fresh produce, staples, and protein, enough for a family of four for the week ahead.

Impact: $50 = one family grocery box

Program 3 — Summer & School-Break Meals

Let's Make Sure Children Remain Fed During Holidays

Summer and holiday breaks remove the school meals millions of kids rely on. We will host community meal days and send home food packs so the break is a break, not a hardship.
