Dear Friend,
The first few days of summer break should be a time for children to relax, unwind and play. But instead of excitement, many children might already be feeling the ache of summer hunger.
During the long break from school, thousands of families throughout Kansas are going without the meals that children normally eat at school.
At the Kansas Food Bank, we have already been hard at work stocking the shelves in preparation to meet this increased need for healthy food.
As you can imagine, covering up to 10 additional meals per week per child is not an easy task, especially while the cost of food remains high…which is why I am so grateful for your partnership.
Together, we can provide nutritious food all summer long to Kansans facing hunger. Your generosity helps our partners and programs across the state prepare to put wholesome food into the hands of our neighbors who need it.
In this edition of Seeds of Hope, you will meet a few of our neighbors who have been impacted by your support. I hope you are inspired by Kathy’s story — because it’s friends like you that ensure she can make nourishing meals for her granddaughter.
Thank you for putting healthy food on the table for Kansans of every age this summer and beyond.
Gratefully,
Brian Walker
