Before he learned to count, he could count on you.

Kindergarten-aged little boy is wearing a backpack. Overlayed is text that says, "Before he learned to count, he could count on you."

You’ve done something incredible: your generosity has helped feed children who are heading to kindergarten for the very first time.

For one little boy, that moment is extra special—because before he ever learned to count, he could count on you.

He’s ready. His backpack is zipped, his sneakers are tied, and his eyes are wide with curiosity. But readiness isn’t just about having school supplies. It’s about having the fuel (both physical and emotional) to step into that classroom with confidence. And that’s exactly what your generosity made possible!

Why These Early Years Matter So Much

A child’s brain develops 95% by age five, well before they even set foot in a school. Those first years are when connections are made, curiosity is sparked, and learning becomes a lifelong habit. During these formative years, good nutrition is critical.

The healthy meals you’ve helped provide have been more than just food on a plate. They’ve been building blocks for growth, energy for play, and fuel for imagination. Each sandwich, piece of fruit, and carton of milk you made possible has been an investment in their future.

The Journey Ahead

The road to this moment has been full of small steps. Meals delivered, kind words shared, encouragement given. Now, the next chapter begins. Kindergarten is just the start. Thanks to you, these children have the foundation they need to grow, learn, and chase every dream ahead.

From all of us at Kids’ Meals and from every child walking into school with a smile, thank you. Your kindness today will echo in their success for years to come.

Here’s to growing. Here’s to learning. And here’s to every bright future you help create.
