All across the country, schools and community groups run summer meals sites where kids can eat breakfast and lunch for free. No Kid Hungry helps local organizations launch and operate these sites, and we also help fund needed equipment like
mobile meals trucks
.
But neighborhood meals sites aren't much good if families don't know about them. That's why No Kid Hungry runs
a summer meals texting service
. Parents, grandparents and caregivers can text ‘FOOD’ to 877-877 to find free summer meals sites in their neighborhoods.
Thanks to the support from our partners and donors, over a million families have used our texting service to find healthy meals for their children.
