During the school year, many children rely on free or reduced-price meals. But in summer, those meals often disappear—leaving kids vulnerable to hunger, which can hinder learning, development, and overall well-being.

Your donation is stretched to its maximum impact. Just $100 can provide 8,000 pounds of nutritious food—feeding dozens of children for days.

Food insecurity spikes in summer when school meal programs pause. Donating now helps fill the critical gap and ensures kids have access to the nutritious food they need—every single day.

Your gift stays in the community, directly stocking the Basic Needs Food Market—a barrier-free, dignity-centered food resource serving children and families in need.

This campaign is about community coming together. Your support could be the piece that changes a child’s summer—and future. A small act of generosity can make a lasting impact.

Food insecurity disproportionately affects children from historically marginalized communities. By donating, you're not only addressing immediate hunger—you're helping build a more just, inclusive, and sustainable food system that uplifts everyone.
