Community-Based Food Programs for Kids

You can find us:

Stocking satellite food pantries at eight Sun Prairie Community Schools
Distributing hearty snack bags on Fridays during the school year to kids in four low-income communities
Distributing Break Bags full of kid-friendly meals and snacks to help families get through breaks during the school year
Distributing lunches three days a week during Summer Break in six neighborhoods

Our programs meet kids and families where they are, working to ensure that no child goes hungry in Sun Prairie!

Summer Lunches begin June 16!

Summer lunches are distributed at stops in the community on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during Summer Break. Each lunch bag contains a drink, sandwich, fruit and/or veggie, side, and dessert. Specific neighborhoods and times are listed below. Kids can look out for our white van in these neighborhoods to stop by and receive a free sack lunch.

Sponsors are still needed! Looking for a meaningful way to give back? Grab your friend, group, or co-workers and sign up to sponsor a summer lunch. Sponsor groups can choose a day, provide volunteers to make sack lunches, and cover the cost of food for that day. CLICK HERE for details and sign up info.
