Summertime brings fun and relaxation, but it also highlights a critical issue: summer hunger. With schools closed, many children who rely on school meals face increased food insecurity, especially with rising food costs. Today, we launched the Lunchbox program at the Philabundance Community Kitchen. Sponsored by The GIANT Company, this program will distribute 60,000 lunch meals and 11,000 breakfast kits to children faced with food insecurity this summer. Starting June 18th and running until August 24th, this program will help provide children with the nourishment they need and deserve to thrive. Thank you to all who supported us today including Councilmember-at-Large Nicolas O'Rourke, Senator Sharif Street, Councilmember-at-Large Nina Ahmad, Councilmember-at-large Jim Harrity, Councilman Jeffery Young, Jr., Esq., Small Things Inc, Bebashi - Transition to Hope, Beulah Baptist Church, CityTeam, MATTIE N DIXON COMM CUPBOARD, Bucks County Opportunity Council, and Puerto Rican Unity for Progress, Inc.. Special thanks to our dedicated volunteers from Youth Advocate Programs, Inc. for packing nutritious lunch and breakfast kits, which will be distributed through our community partners to those in need.
