How donations help Houston children access daily meals while school is out<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The backstory:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

This Friday marks the official start of summer with every school district in the greater Houston out for the summer. For some kids, the only meal they have on many days is the one provided at school.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That’s where Kid’s Meals steps in to provide every child in the home they visit a meal every single weekday until school starts in August.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kid’s Meals is not only feeling more kids, it’s costing more.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Higher food prices and gas prices is making it even harder for families and agencies that help them keep enough food on the table.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What you can do:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The non-profit is asking for monetary donations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to CEO John Day, $2 can feed one child a day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A $20 donation feeds 10 kids a day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“You’re helping a preschooler or a third grader who can’t help themselves,” said Day.<\/p>\n
