Our work & impact

Jennifer and Oscar (A mom and dad) both work full-time jobs and were enjoying the freedom that comes with having a teenager. When their six nieces and nephews, ages 1 to 11 years old, were facing difficult circumstances and needed a safe home, they didn’t hesitate to welcome them in. Having six more mouths to feed, clothe, and care for put a significant and unexpected financial burden on their budget, but they would never say no to family.

Kids’ Meals has been honored to partner alongside them to support their family. Their compassion, love, sacrificial living and “do whatever it takes for the children” attitude make us hold them in high esteem.

Every day, a Hope Provider pulls up in our Kids’ Meals van to deliver a free, healthy meal to this little boy and his siblings.

Recently, when the Hope Provider arrived, the little boy ran up to her with a toy van in his hands. The toy resembled our Kids’ Meals van, and the little boy’s face lit up with excitement as he proudly showed it off to a Hope Provider. “I have lunch like you!” He said as he showed her the inside of the van.

His dad explained that the boy wants to be just like his Hope Provider when he grows up!

At Kids’ Meals, we call our drivers Hope Providers because they truly do provide hope to children all over Houston. Because of supporters like YOU, children are being fed and are dreaming of a future where they can help others, too. We’re so proud all of our Hope Providers who go above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of the children we serve.
