Hunger doesn’t take a summer break. For families facing hunger, summer can be a challenge because children lose access to the school meals that kept them fed during the school year. Many parents and guardians worry about how they’ll fill the gap for up to three months.
For over a year, many of our hardworking neighbors have endured high costs of food and basic necessities with little relief. Now as we enter the winter months, families facing hunger are at their breaking point during the most challenging time of year.
