In our community, one in five kids is at risk of starting the day with an empty stomach. Rumbly tummies and headaches make it hard to concentrate at school. Hunger can impact their success today and derail their long-term growth and potential.
Thankfully, there is hope. Through a variety of programs, Second Harvest Food Bank is helping close the hunger gap for our most vulnerable population. Kids Cafes, Kids Packs, Summer Food Service, and School Partnerships meet kids where they are to provide them with healthy, nutritious food.
Zach is one of those kids.Through your support, he is able to visit a Kids Cafe in his neighborhood.
I like that the food is free,” says Zach. “I can come by, eat with my friends, play basketball and do homework.”
By providing the healthy, nutritious meals kids need to thrive, Second Harvest Food Bank is feeding inspiration, change, achievement, health — and families facing hunger.
