Being hungry takes on many forms besides physical hunger. We see this in our kids and their families every day. Some are hungry for food, some for material needs, some for health, and some for friendship and community. Their soul is in need, and we have been called to help.

Beyond feeding children, we meet these relational needs by getting to know families by name and connecting them to resources and advocates at their schools. As a faith-motivated organization, we also connect families to the love of God through radical hospitality and care.
