MISSION:  To provide wholesome meals to any child up to age 18 who come wanting a meal.  Breakfast and lunch are served during the summer (9 AM breakfast -1 PM lunch) and an evening meal is served throughout the school year at 5:30 PM. PROGRAM IS FREE.

REQUEST FOR VOLUNTEERS:  Volunteers are needed to assist with daily meal preparation, serving and clean up.  A large volunteer team is required to feed so many children, especially during the summer months when two teams are needed to prepare breakfasts and lunches.

WISH LIST:  Ongoing donations of food items, financial support, and volunteers are required to maintain the extent of this outreach.   Grocery gift cards from area supermarkets are appreciated to buy weekly perishable foods (milk, eggs, cheese meats).  Canned fruits and vegetables, pastas, pasta sauces, tuna, meat, bread products, fresh fruit and vegetables, desserts, soups, and stews, and all other food donations are accepted.  Often times when we are closed for holidays, we prepare take-home sacks of food for the children to have and we need individually packaged, easy to prepare items for the children (granola bars, individual cereals, fruit cups, juice boxes, tuna kits, peanut butter or cheese crackers, etc.) Summer moths will demand breakfast foods and lunch-type foods easy to pack for sack lunches on days the children will be on summer field trips.
