MOW DOWN HUNGER, GROW KIDS' POTENTIAL.

Together, we can nurture the growth of kids and families in Southeast Michigan.

Prepare Students for Success This School Year

As students begin the school year, they’re relying on healthy meals to fuel their success in the classroom and beyond. With your help, we can make sure kids and families in Southeast Michigan have the nutritious foods they need to thrive. 

Thanks to the generous support of Weingartz, your donation will have 2x the impact! A dollar-for-dollar match means $1 provides 6 meals to a hungry child this school year.

TOGETHER, WE CAN MOW DOWN HUNGER.

Far too often, hunger stands in the way of students being successful in school. But with your help, we can clear the path to success for students in our communities.

When kids have enough nutritious food to eat, they're more likely to attend class, retain information, and meet their goals. Your support goes directly to providing families with fresh milk, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins—essential ingredients for growing bodies and minds.
