Our Kids Cafés provides at-risk children 18 and under with a safe place to meet and mingle after school, throughout the school year.

Any child that visits one of our Kids Cafés will receive a free fresh nutritious meal and or snack. Our Kids Café sites provide enrichment activities and physical activities that promote the practice of healthy eating and the importance of staying active.

How does a Kids Café come to be?

A Kids Café is a partnership between a Food Bank and a non-profit that has established youth programs. The Food Bank provides the meal component to enhance existing activities. Rather than children getting crackers and powered drink mix as a snack—or no snack at all—Kids Café meals and snacks are provided as nutritious, filling alternatives.

The San Antonio Food Bank seeks new Kids Café locations based on a program’s viability, need in the community, and a reputation for safe, and reliable program operation.
