Help Tristate Neighbors this Summer
Summer is just around the corner! Many of us — especially children — are starting to think about vacations, swimming, picnics and all the fun that comes with summer break.
But for families whose children rely on free and reduced-price meal programs at school, summer is a more challenging season. Parents are stuck trying to figure out how to provide enough food for their children during the months when free breakfast and lunch are no longer available. Add the heavy expense of summer child care, and families are left to make impossible choices.
This issue of Connection features children and the people working to help make summer a little easier for families.
As you know, summer hunger affects more than just children. For many of our tristate neighbors, food insecurity is a year- round issue.
But thanks to your generosity, Freestore Foodbank is ready to provide meals for children, families and seniors. As we head into summer, I’m so grateful for your support.
Remember, every $1 you give provides up to 3 meals — and brings relief to a family experiencing hunger. Thank you for your compassion.
With gratitude,
Kurt Reiber
President & CEO
