Frisco Family Services was one of six nonprofits that were a part of the first-ever
Dallas Morning News Charities' Summer Feeding campaign.
The campaign began
on May 15, 2017 and ended on June 27, 2017.
The initial
goal was to raise enough funds to be able to provide 30,000 meals for
North Texas children during
summer break.
The amount of support received from the community was incredible,
and you helped more than triple the initial goal!
A combined total of
105,000 meals
are being distributed to
North Texas
children this summer.
Thank you for making a difference!

Frisco Family Services celebrates
10 successful years of their
Summer Lunch Program at Grand Finale event
|

Frisco Family Services’ Summer Lunch Program provides school-aged kids living in Frisco and Frisco ISD, with lunches and weekend snack packs each day for 8-weeks during the summer.
On Friday, July 28th, Frisco Family Services hosted their Summer Lunch program
Grand Finale event while celebrating ten years of Summer Lunch success!
Because of the help and support received from our very caring community,
Frisco Family Services was able to provide more than 8,900 lunches and weekend snack packs to participating children this summer. Not only did these participants get to nourish their bodies with healthy meals and snacks, but they also participated in physical activities, reading and arts and crafts.

laughter, fun and family

Summer Lunch Program!

Frisco Family Services' trucks were vandalized right before the event, we did not know how we were going to deliver lunches, weekend snack packs and bicycles to the event. When word
got out to the community,
Two Men and a Truck McKinney
quickly stepped up to help! They picked up and delivered everything needed to ensure that the event went off without a hitch. They also helped transport items and equipment used for our Back to School event.
We are so grateful to be a part of such a caring community that continuously demonstrates what that means!

A special thank you to the Volunteers at
Frito-Lay
in Plano for going above and beyond as volunteers at this year's Grand Finale event. Their contagious energy and fun activities they had planned for the kids, like making "slime" and doing manicures made the event that much more fun for the participants and the event that much more of a success!
