School may be out, but hunger isn’t.
During the school year, many children rely on free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch programs. When summer arrives, that reliable source of food often disappears, leaving families to stretch already limited budgets even further.

For parents facing rising costs for groceries, housing, transportation, and other necessities, summer can bring difficult choices no family should have to make.

Your gift today can help provide food and support to children and families across our community this summer.

Donate today and help us close the summer hunger gap: https://catholiccharities.org/donate/
