When the final school bell rings in the coming weeks and summer break begins, our thoughts turn to the thousands of children whose primary food source comes from meals in the school cafeteria. Or from school pantries, which provide food for the entire family.
This is where our community partners — and YOU — step in. We’re here to support families during this challenging time and bridge the gap when school is out.
Together, we keep school pantries stocked throughout the summer months. And River Bend Food Bank provides nutrition for children through summer meal sites as well.
Thanks to your generous support, we can also serve families through the food distributions and pantries that are available year-round to neighbors throughout our region. Our network of hunger-relief partners and programs distributes more than 20 million meals each year, and that doesn’t stop during the summer months.
Your continued support keeps families and children nourished this summer and all year long. We couldn’t be more grateful!
