Help feed kids over summer break.
Hundreds of thousands of hard working families rely on savings from free school meals to stay afloat. Now that kids are home for summer break, the heat is on for their families to pick up the slack.
With proposed funding cuts for basic needs programs like SNAP, which over 1 million people in Massachusetts rely on to keep food on the table, families in our state are gearing up for the hottest and hungriest summer ever.
But amidst the uncertainty this summer promises, there's one thing we can all agree on: kids need to be fed.
You can help fill the summer meal gap and give kids the chance to enjoy summer without worry by giving generously today.
