Our kids are going hungry, missing meals and suffering from poor nutrition. The problem will grow worse this summer when schools are out and kids can’t participate in school breakfast and lunch programs. Many of these kids live in your neighborhood with families who are doing everything they can to survive the economic crisis we are facing in our region.
Kids shouldn’t have to go hungry or miss meals in Metro Detroit!
Help Us Help Our Kids And Their Families Get Through This Crisis.
