Bring summertime joy back into the lives of kids facing hunger.
For thousands of children across Nebraska and western Iowa, summer means one thing: hunger. Last year, the price of food and everyday needs went up and never came down. Now, many children in Nebraska and western Iowa are facing another summer of hunger.
Every $1 you give today provides more than 3 meals.
With your support, you can help bring summertime joy back into the lives of kids facing hunger across the Heartland.
