Kids need food to thrive

Childhood is a time for learning, growing, playing sports and dreaming of a bright future. But without consistent access to healthy, nutritious foods, hunger can derail a childhood. Kids facing hunger encounter significant challenges, including academic performance, physical health, and emotional well-being.

Your support makes it possible to fight childhood hunger in neighborhoods across Central Florida. By providing the next generation with kid-friendly meals and snacks year-round, you are investing in our future teachers, doctors, and community leaders.

Children like Courtney receive a nourishing meal before participating in an after-school tutoring program in Orlando. Fueled up, they tackle homework, engage in games, and even take part in music classes.

“The food is so good sometimes I get seconds,” says Courtney. “What I like most is the fruit. It is so sweet!”

Her favorite subject in school is math. She dreams of one day being an art teacher.
“When I grow up, I want to show off my art with a mural. Art makes people happy,” Courtney adds with a smile.
