Today is the last day!

As we wrap up another incredible summer, tomorrow marks the final day of our 2026 Summer Feeding Program! ☀️🍎🥪

To every family who participated, thank you for allowing us to serve your children throughout the summer. It has been our privilege to help ensure that students had access to nutritious meals while school was out.

A very special THANK YOU goes to our amazing JCPS School Nutrition staff. Your dedication, long hours, and unwavering commitment to our students never go unnoticed. Through the summer heat, unpredictable weather, and countless hours of preparation and distribution, you continued to serve with smiles, kindness, and compassion. You truly are the heart of our program.

We also want to extend our sincere appreciation to the many volunteers who generously gave their time to help distribute meals each week. Your willingness to serve alongside us made a tremendous difference, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

Together, we made sure thousands of children had access to healthy meals this summer. Thank you for helping us make a positive impact—one meal, one smile, and one student at a time. ❤️

We look forward to welcoming our students back to school very soon. Until then, thank you for making this summer another successful one!
