Kids Cafe
Kids Cafe is a federal program operated through Freestore Foodbank which provides free, complete & nutritious meals to children at the end of the school day so that they aren’t going hungry in the evenings. Kids Cafe provides hot meals each week to 13 after-school sites in Hamilton County and Kenton County.
Cincinnati COOKS!

To achieve this vision, our objectives are to provide nutritious food, connect to support services and offer a pathway from crisis to stability.
