Kids who receive free and reduced-price meals during the school year come from families already struggling to get by. When school’s out for the summer – and parents have more mouths to feed during the day – life gets even tougher.
When your business, organization, school or community group raises funds to help End Summer Hunger, children have regular access to fresh, healthy food; struggling parents are able to focus on getting back on their feet; and kids have a chance to just be kids.
ne unique aspect of End Summer Hunger is a focus on kids helping kids through classroom coin drives. Young students learn about hunger in their community, while also realizing they can make a positive difference when their spare change is added together.
Businesses, churches, community groups or other organizations are also essential; helping hundreds of local families every summer through food and fund drives. Or you can create your own campaign, and host a fundraiser online. However you choose to get involved, we will help you every step of the way.
Healthy food for local kids + helping your community = a happier summer for everyone.
