We have officially kicked off our 2023 seasonal lunch program! Feed Our Kids Spring Break Edition was a huge success. Our dedicated volunteers and families showed up through every spring weather condition, from cold to rain to warm, bright sunshine! It was wonderful to see all the giant smiles and friendly, familiar faces. Most of our kids arrived excited and hungry directly from the City Spring Break Sports Camp!
During Spring Break, only two of our summer locations serve lunch – and we were busy! We are grateful for our friends and volunteers from both First Baptist Grapevine and First United Methodist Church, Grapevine who hosted and served. We saw an increase in attendance from 2022 and served 494 lunches to our kids. If you include the surprised parents who also received a yummy hot off the grill burger at GRACE main on Friday, we served 525 lunches last week!
As we prepare for Feed Our Kids summertime edition, we extend an invitation to you to volunteer with us. Feed Our Kids runs solely on volunteers. Choosing a day or week, volunteers provide and serve lunch at one of six sites within our community. Leading children in games, crafts, and activities are just icing on the cake to ensure that each child leaves with a full belly and a smile on their face.
