We heard from more than 1,000 families in our program survey. When asked to describe their situation in one word, their responses reminded us of two things: the hard is very real, and this work truly matters.

Volunteer of the Month: Tom! 👏💙

Tom is a faithful volunteer who helps assemble boxes for our Community Packing Events each week. While we’re still waiting on the final numbers, it’s probably safe to say Tom logged the most volunteer hours once again this year. When asked about his favorite part of CPEs, Tom shared:

“Watching kids from stroller age to the 94-year-old twins, and people of all abilities, in the same room, making a difference together.”

What a beautiful picture of community. We’re so grateful for volunteers like Tom who faithfully show up week after week to help deliver hope to kids.

☀️ School may be out soon, but hunger doesn’t take a summer break. That’s why our team is gearing up for a summer full of sunshine, serving, and supporting kids through our Summer Food Program.

Stay tuned, there’s more to come!
