BE A HERO FOR KIDS THIS SUMMER

Your gifts of support help provide no-cost nutritious meals, groceries, and snacks for children over the summer break.

Give Summer Meals

Your support is needed to help kids Eat Great, Play Great this summer.

Kids 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.
