During the summer, kids often lose some of the educational skills they gained during the school year. This is heighted for children in poverty. The U.S. Department of Education found that children in poverty missed out on several types of educationally enriching summer activities that their non-poor classmates enjoyed, including tutoring, trips to historical sites and museums, and attending camp. This is why, thanks to YOU, we have a summer kickoff event for families.<\/span><\/p>\n

This summer we are feeding up to 10,000 children per day. You can help make sure none of them miss a meal. Every $2 you give delivers a free, healthy meal to a hungry child. To donate, click here:<\/span> https:\/\/kidsmealsinc.org\/give<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
