Thank You, for providing 168,000 meals to the children of Kids Cafe.
The Kids Cafe was established on the Peninsula in 1999 as a coordinated approach between America’s Second Harvest, national funding partners and local community partners to promote the development of this program that successfully responds to childhood hunger as it occurs in local communities.
The Kid's Cafe Program provides a nutritious afternoon meal or snack to children in after school programs in a safe, caring and learning environment. Our Kids Café Program has grown from nine sites and 30,493 meals served in FY 2000 – 2001 to 17 sites and 80,960 meals served this fiscal year, a 166 % increase!
The program’s goal is to feed hungry children and link community resources to this effort. This goal is achieved through the Kids Cafe program objectives:
Provide nutritious meals to children in need.
» Supplement meals with nutrition education activities.
» Locate sites within easy access to children in need.
» Conduct activities within safe sites, under the supervision of a trustworthy staff.
Support community and socialization activities by involving community programs and family members within cafe-style environments. When possible, involve additional resources and partners in order to assure sustainability of these efforts.
