EVERY CHILD DESERVES TO BE NOURISHED
A nourished child has the essential sustenance for healthy growth, development, and overall well-being. Nourishment not only ensures that a child reaches their full potential in terms of physical development but also plays a vital role in their ability to learn, thrive, and lead a fulfilling life. A nourished child has a better chance of excelling in school, staying active and energetic, and building a strong foundation for a healthy adulthood. Access to nourishing food is a fundamental element in improving the quality of life for children, offering them the opportunity to reach their fullest potential.

WEEKEND & SUMMER MEAL PROGRAMSWe help bridge the nutrition gap for South Whidbey young people, many of whom rely on the free and reduced school lunch program to meet their nutritional needs. Other families we serve earn just above the cut-off line to qualify for low-income programs - many of those households lack a financial safety net and struggle to provide adequate nutrition for their children in the face of economic hardship.
