When School Ends

The Food Gap Begins

During the school year, many children rely on free and reduced meal programs. When summer arrives, that support disappears. For many families, the loss of school meals creates an immediate gap in access to food.

1 in 5 children in our region faces gaps in consistent access to food
In rural areas, families often don’t have nearby access to consistent food support
Rising grocery costs are putting added pressure on families

Children shouldn’t have to worry about their next meal. Together, we can close the gap.

I saw families take a deep breath when they received groceries. Easing just one burden for the week goes a lot farther than any of us see.
