FUNDRAISER TO SUPPORT SUMMER MEAL PROGRAMS and Beyond
Many children who rely on school breakfast and lunch programs during the school year often face hunger when classrooms and cafeterias are closed. Through this summer meals program, CRC would like to raise funds to assist communities with providing nutritious meals that kids need to continue growing and learning while school is not in session. For most children and teens, summer is a time for fun. Unfortunately, kids in many of our areas don’t have food at home. Summer can mean long days without enough to eat. With your help, CRC would work together with the communities to change that. In addition, CRC would use donations to support food pantries throughout the year. Your support of the program will be greatly appreciated. To contribute, just hit the donate button.
