Frisco Family Services was one of seven nonprofits that were a part of the second annual
Dallas Morning News Charities' Kids' Summer Feeding Campaign.
Beginning on May 23, 2018 and ending on June 29, 2018, the initial goal was to raise enough funds to provide 60,000 meals for North Texas children during summer break.
The amount of support received from the community was incredible, and because of your help, the initial goal was exceeded by 20,000 meals!
A combined total of
80,000 meals
are being distributed to North Texas children this summer.
Thank you for making a difference!

For the past 9 weeks, more than
9,000 lunches and snack packs were provided to kids in our very own community.
Participants not only got to nourish their bodies with healthy meals and snacks, but they also participated in games, reading and social time.
At our Grand Finale event, thanks to our passionate volunteers, like a group from Frito-Lay - PepsiCo, more than 300 children and their families will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of games, social activities, a raffle, and go home with food and snacks to help with lunches until school starts.
