Fueling Potential—One Meal, One Goal, One Child at a Time

La Roca FC is proud to partner with Nutrition Rescue, a purpose-driven fundraising program that helps our athletes chase their dreams, while helping children around the world reach theirs.

Instead of selling candy bars or cookie dough, every $2.10 donation provides one VitaKid meal to a child facing chronic malnutrition and puts $1 directly toward your athlete’s fundraising goal.

These aren’t just any meals, they’re nutrient-packed, culturally compatible, and designed to support healthy brain and body development during the most critical years of life.

Daily Impact

Each morning, local volunteer mothers prepare and serve VitaKid meals before the school day begins. These meals do more than fill empty stomachs, they fuel focus, improve classroom learning, and unlock a child’s potential from the very first bell.

VitaKid meals are the cornerstone of our approach. Designed specifically for school-aged children (K–6), each meal delivers nutrients that support brain development, digestive absorption, and cultural familiarity, so kids not only benefit nutritionally, but also enjoy what they’re eating.

This isn’t just about fighting hunger, it’s about building futures. When children are nourished consistently, they’re able to grow stronger, think clearer, and thrive in school and in life.

The Impact Equation

One donation. Two outcomes. Real impact.

• 200 school days = 200 meals

• $2.10 per meal = $420 per year

• Just $35 per month sustains a child for a full school year

Every donation is personal and powerful.

When you give, you know exactly what you’re doing:

You’re putting a brain-boosting meal in front of a child and helping a local athlete chase their dream.

There’s no guessing. No wondering where your money went.

Nutrition + Rescue = The Movement

Solving chronic childhood malnutrition goes beyond filling stomachs, it requires addressing the root causes. That’s why each VitaKid Meal is intentionally designed to nourish both body and brain, providing the essential nutrients that unlock a child’s potential.

A key part of this approach is our de-worming program, which ensures children can actually absorb the nutrients they receive.

Intestinal worms rob children of energy, growth, and focus, holding back development in school and in life. We’re committed to making sure that never happens. Or as we like to say: “We don't feed the worms!”

Why Nutrition? Why Now?

Chronic childhood malnutrition is one of the most solvable but most overlooked, global challenges.

With the right nutrition at the right time, every $1 invested yields a $40–$63 return in long-term economic impact (Copenhagen Consensus, World Bank). No other intervention offers a higher return on investment. Nutrition Rescue gives families and athletes a chance to support something truly meaningful: breaking the cycle of poverty before it begins.
