During National Volunteer Week, we celebrate our Volunteers’ impact on our Kids Eat Smart Clubs, ensuring access to breakfast, at no cost to the child or their family.

Every school day, the sharing of your time, skills, and empathy is vital to the well-being of our school age children and youth.

Each contribution you make is more important now, more than ever.

Every Breakfast. Every Child. Every School Day — you bring heart to our school communities.
For this, we thank you.
