“The Food Is Good Here”
With her freckled cheeks and big, toothy smile, 9-year-old Makaila is the picture of summer.
We met Makaila while she was visiting a summer meals site with her BFF: her younger sister, Lily.
“Lily is my best friend,” says Makaila. “I love hanging out with her … when she doesn’t annoy me!”
During the summer, Makaila keeps busy — playing games, hanging out with friends, and reading.
“I’m reading a chapter book about dragons right now,” she says. “I love dragons!”
Makaila also loves mac and cheese, but at our summer meals site, she got something a little more nutritious: a turkey sandwich, an apple, carrots, and milk.
“The food is good, and it’s nice here,” Makaila says. “Nothing is better than books, reading, and ice cream … except mac and cheese!”
Thank you for helping to make summer meals possible for kids in our communities!
