We’re hitting the streets to feed children and youth this summer! 🥪🍪🧃🍎🚙

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in June and July, we’ll be at 8 locations offering grab-n-go meals (breakfast and lunch) to children 18 and younger!

We’ll park at each location for 15 minutes before traveling to the next. Check the times for each location. Drive up, walk up, and spread the word!!

Thank you to our generous sponsor Arby's Foundation and contributions from other community partners 💛
