Children & Seniors Programs

It’s nearly impossible for kids to sit still and focus when they don’t have enough to eat. Teens with empty stomachs can’t concentrate on studying and preparing for exams. The effects of hunger reach far beyond the classroom, influencing health, well-being, and earning potential well into adulthood.  

Thanks to longtime community partnerships, the Food Bank provides nutritious food and support to area families year-round — connecting kids and teens with the resources they need to succeed and thrive. Through school-based pantries, meals and snacks at afterschool programs, take-home options for weekends and school breaks, and breakfast and lunches at summer meal sites, our Child Nutrition team works closely with local agencies and school districts to meet children, parents, and caregivers where they are throughout the year.
