A little extra food can make a big difference during summer break. 🎒🍎

The Summer Feeding Program starts tomorrow and runs through the end of July. Any family with children can participate, including teens. Send them by to pick up extra snacks and food for the summer months.

Please help us spread the word and take advantage of this resource. The more families who use the program, the better opportunity we have to keep bringing programs like this to our community.

A huge thank you to the Rush County Community Assistance Food Pantry for helping make this possible. ❤️

Questions? Reach out and we'll be happy to help!
