Working to End Summer Hunger

Too many children across the DC region are at risk of hunger, and for some, school may provide the only nutritious meals they receive on a given day. When summer break starts, kids lose that critical lifeline, making it harder for them to continue learning and growing. 

That’s why the Capital Area Food Bank supports sites throughout our community where all children can get free, nutritious meals all summer long.

Last summer, we served over 62,000 total breakfasts, lunches, suppers and snacks! 

Every child deserves a healthy, happy and hunger-free summer.
