Food 4 Kids

Food 4 Kids is a summer program that allows children to receive food when school is out of session.

In 2009, nearly every school district The Food Bank serves saw an increase in the number of children qualifying for the National School Breakfast and Lunch Program. The program provides for children during the school year, but The Food Bank wants to continue meeting the need throughout the summer.

Each Food 4 Kids program serves sack lunches to children. Each lunch includes a sandwich, fruit, drink and a snack-type item such as a granola bar. Some programs also offer a hot lunch one or two days a week.

Food 4 Kids is made possible by The Food Bank, general donations and other support from our affiliate, Feeding America.
