Every year on May 28, World Hunger Day calls attention to one of the most urgent and solvable issues of our time: hunger. At Kids’ Meals, our mission to end childhood hunger lives at the core of everything we do.
Right now, over 100,000 children in the Greater Houston area face hunger—and we serve the most vulnerable of them all: babies and toddlers under age 6 who don’t yet receive free school lunches. Each weekday, we deliver nutritious, ready-to-eat meals straight to their doorsteps.
But food is just the start.
Thanks to community donations and generous partners who are working to reduce food waste, we’re able to deliver more than meals—like vegetables, cereal, and groceries for the whole family.
We also equip families with monthly updates about free or low-cost services available across Houston. Our Family Resource Team shares everything from housing and job assistance to parenting support and healthcare access. Recently, they even created a comprehensive resource binder for our Hope Providers to take on their routes, connecting families with over 70 incredible organizations making a difference right here in our city.
And the future? It’s bright!
Our new building—currently under construction—will give us the space and capacity to feed over 26,000 children every weekday by 2031. More room means more meals, more groceries, more hope, and more help for hardworking parents striving to break the cycle of poverty.
World Hunger Day reminds us that hunger is a challenge we can meet—together. We’re proud to do our part with you right here in Houston, one child and one family at a time.
