With increasing concern around youth food insecurity, this program offers a simple, impactful way to give back.

We’re seeking sponsors to help cover the cost of 25 lunches per day. You or your business can:

  • Sponsor a day, week, or full summer
  • Donate fresh food items or snack packs
  • Provide in-kind support (e.g., printing, signage, bags, volunteer prep)

Your support will be recognized on social media, our website, and signage at the pickup site.
