Summer months usually bring fun, sun, and so much more. But for too many, they bring missed meals, without the help of school meals.

We are grateful we can deliver these Breakfast Kits to help hundreds of kiddos start their day off right. Special thanks to our friends at CCAP for helping us get them into the hands of those who need them the most. 💛
