Every student has a story. We keep healthy food in every summer chapter. ⁠
⁠
When summer begins, many children lose access to the reliable meals they receive at school. As rising prices stretch families thin and fresh food becomes harder to afford, we remain committed to supporting families beyond the school year by providing consistent access to nutritious produce when it’s needed most. ⁠
⁠
With your help, we can meet urgent needs today, build lasting solutions for tomorrow, and ensure no family faces the summer nutrition gap alone.⁠ Join us this summer, and support families across the country with access to fresh produce and nutrition education. ⁠
