When school ends in May so do the healthy breakfasts and lunches that students in our community rely on. 6 out of 10 children can't afford to eat three times a day. Help bring nutritious food to the children in your community this summer by supporting Sack Summer Hunger.
Sack Summer Hunger is a program through Metrocrest Services that distributes sacks of nutritious easy-to-prepare food each week to children. Contents of the sack include breakfast, lunch, and snacks for the week.
Watch our video from last year's program here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSIDvsPqKKo
