Helping Kids Eat Great, Play Great

More than 200,000 students living in low-income households in the San Antonio area rely on school meal programs for free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch. With most students eating breakfast and lunch at school, summer break presents significant challenges for families in need. 

Our Summer Meals For Kids campaign aims to fill the summer meal gap by providing no-cost nutritious meals, groceries, and snacks for children over the summer. When kids eat great, they can play great!
