KIDS' KAFE
Since 2009, volunteers have spent each summer preparing bags filled with several choices of kid-friendly, individually-sized, healthy items for youngsters to pick up each Monday morning for that week. That first summer, we had an average of 55 children participating; in 2017 and 2018, the average has been 155. That's a lot of inventory needed each week! Due to the growth in the number of families who find it helpful to participate in the summer lunch program, our agency partnered this summer with the Family of God Community Church, which is about a block away for our facility, for the summer distribution site. Pick up took place at 147 First Avenue between 10am-12noon each Monday morning. For safety and convenience, parking in the lot off the alley behind the church and using the rear entrance to the church building, made the experience much better for everyone. THANK YOU TO THE FAMILY OF GOD COMMUNITY CHURCH FOR THEIR SUPPORT!
