Houston Food Bank's summer meal program 2024
The Houston Food Bank is making sure children don't go hungry this summer. FOX 26's Chelsea Edwards has more on their summer feeding program.
HOUSTON - The Houston Food Bank is preparing to feed 12,000 local children a day through its summer feeding program starting Monday, June 3 at select locations.
Children 18 and under and enrolled students with disabilities up to 21 years old can show up to participating sites, including most Boys & Girls Club locations to receive breakfast, lunch, and snacks (depending on the site). Families do not need to apply for the free meals.
The food bank is also in need of hundreds of volunteers each day to package and prepare hot and cold options.
The program officially launches June 10 and runs through Aug. 9, 2024.
