Afterschool Meals for Kids in Need
The Food Bank helps ensure those at-risk of hunger have access
to nutritious food in many ways. Through the Kids Cafe program, we serve
healthy meals to kids enrolled in the afterschool program at the Boys and
Girls Club of East Providence and the West End Community Center in
Providence. The meals are prepared by students in the Food Bank’s Community
Kitchen, a culinary job-training program that prepares unemployed adults for
food service jobs.

Filling the Gap During School Vacation
When schools are closed
for snow days, vacation breaks and summer, kids miss out on meals available
to them through the National School Lunch Program. To help fill the gap left
by the missing meals, the Food Bank distributes Meals4Kids boxes to families
in need. The boxes are filled with kid-friendly foods that are easy to
prepare and are available through local community centers, food pantries and
health centers.
