2026 Sponsorship Program

Serving 200–250 local kids weekly • 11 weeks during summer break • $8 per weekend food bag

When school ends for the summer, many children face uncertainty about their next meal. Through our Summer Weekend Meals for Kids program, we distribute 200+ kid-friendly, nutritious, and filling food bags every weekend during summer break.

Your business can make a tangible impact by directly funding these meals and by showing up as volunteers to pack them.

Join us in ensuring kids have the food they need all summer long.
