No School... Means No School Lunch
Summer is a high-risk time for children. Thousands of children in Maine who received subsidized breakfast and lunch in the school cafeteria, are now facing three long months of going hungry.
Families with two kids have to come up with more than 200 extra meals during the summer vacation, and that is impossible for most low-income families.
In Maine, 41 percent of the people we serve are children under the age of 18
We work very hard to alleviate hunger here in Maine. More than 44,000 children and
their families receive nutritious food and meals through our
network of pantries and soup kitchens. In addition, we have
developed specific programs to help at-risk children during the
summer and all year round.
Your gift can help provide Maine kids with nutritious food this summer.
