Kids Cafe® is a national program founded by Feeding America and administered locally by the Foodbank of Virginia Peninsula. It is a place where children aged 5 through 18 can come to receive free, nutritious evening meals in a safe, supportive environment. The Foodbank has a Nutritionist on staff. Jacquelyn Linder, Kids Cafe Program Manager, prepares the menus and provides nutrition education to the children. Micheal Greenlee, is the Foodbank's Kids Cafe Program assitant that cooks, prepares meals and healthy snacks for the kids cafe program, any many more activities.
Currently, there are more than 31 Kids Cafe locationson the upper, lower and middle Peninsula. Additional locations will open as funds become available. These locations provide almost 283,000 meals to approximately 4,000 children annually.
Though economic times hit everyone hard, those families living on the edge suffer first and worst. We need your help now. If you or your organization would like to assist, please contact us or return the pledge card to the right.
We don't take reservations at Kids Cafe, but we do take everything else.
There are three ways you can help us in this important mission:
Donate money: So the Foodbank can purchase foods needed to provide balanced meals and support the operation of the Kids Cafe program. A $50 contribution buys complete and nutritious meals for all children at a small Kids Cafe site for one day!
Donate food: Or help secure child-friendly food donations from local restaurants and caterers. Your individual donations (sealed and in the original packaging) may be served or be sent home in weekend packages.
Donate your time: Volunteer your time helping serve Kids Cafe participants, cleaning up, mentoring, and interacting with the children.
