Summer Hunger in Houston: It’s Not a Summer Break if You’re Hungry

When the final school bell rings, summer should mean freedom, play, and excitement. But for too many children facing summer hunger in Houston, it brings uncertainty about where their next meal will come from.

While classmates head off to summer fun, some children quietly worry: without school meals, there may be no lunch today.

The reality of summer hunger in Houston affects more than 300,000 children across our community. But it doesn’t have to.

With your support, Kids’ Meals can extend our reach to serve not only preschoolers, but also older siblings home from school during the summer months. This year, we must deliver more than 1 million meals to meet the growing need.

Your gift makes that possible.

  • $2 feeds 1 child
  • $100 feeds a child all summer
 

Donate today and help ensure that no child in Houston faces summer hunger alone. Together, we can change mealtimes and lifetimes!
