For kids across Eastern Wisconsin, the arrival of summer means more time to explore nature, participate in outdoor sports, and hang out with friends, but for many families, the arrival of summer comes with some challenges. When school is out, hundreds of children across our footprint lose access to the healthy meals they receive for free during the school year. Once school lets out for the summer, kids should be thinking about which park to play in, not worrying about where their next meal will come from. Sadly, 1-in-6 children in Eastern Wisconsin are facing hunger right now, and losing a reliable source of nutritious meals during the summer months is a major contributing factor.
Help Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin ensure kids have the fuel they need to enjoy summer by making a gift to the Healthy Kids, Healthy Summer campaign, with support from Meijer. Summer hunger is real – and it can have devastating, long-term consequences for children. A child’s growth, their resistance to disease, their ability to focus and learn, their energy, and their behavior are all affected by what they eat.
Support the Healthy Kids, Healthy Summer campaign by making a donation today using the donation form below and ensure children have the nourishment they need! A donation of just $63 provides meals for a child for an entire summer!
A special thank you to Plum Media for their incredible hard work on the creative for this campaign!
