Food First is a vital initiative that addresses child food insecurity during the summer months when school-provided meals are unavailable. Recognizing that many children rely on these meals for their daily nutrition, the program ensures they continue to have access to healthy and nutritious lunches throughout the summer break.

Weekdays from June through July, Food First provides balanced lunches to children, filling the gap left by the absence of school meals. By focusing on daily nutrition, Food First promotes overall health and wellness among young populations, helping to prevent the negative effects of food insecurity. The program plays a crucial role in supporting the physical and emotional well-being of children, allowing them to enjoy their summer break without the worry of hunger.
