“Food Is Important”
Six-year-old Ami is not a picky eater.
“My favorite food is every food,” she says confidently. Then she reconsiders: “Except onions. And celery.”
Ami certainly had no objection to the turkey sandwich, apple, carrots, and milk she had just received at a mobile food pantry.
Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin hosts numerous mobile food pantry events each summer, providing nutritious and delicious meals to families with children who no longer have access to free meals at school.
Ami, a first grader, is a science buff who loves outer space.
“I love the moon; it’s just so beautiful!” she says. “But I really don’t like black holes. I don’t want anyone to get sucked in.”
And she’s showing an interest in the science of food.
“Food is important,” she says, “because it has some very good qualities and vitamins.”
Even onions and celery! Maybe Ami will get around to liking those someday too!
Your support helped get food to children like Ami this summer. Thank you!
