Our annual Appeal for Meals raises vital funds to support our Backpack, Fresh Food Pantries, Summer Meals and Hot Meals programs.
Family budgets remain tight—food coming home with children through our Backpack and Fresh Food Pantry programs means nutritious meals and less stress for parents. And our Hot Meals program continues to average 8,000+ meals each month, almost double the average from January 2020.
Our Appeal for Meals is held annually in June to raise vital funds to help local kids, women, men and senior citizens right here in Clark County!
