What does hunger look like? Look into the eyes of one of the hundreds of children served by Kitchen on the Street each week and you’ll know.

Hunger is a growing crisis for many Valley children. More than 55 percent of all school-aged youth in our state are enrolled in the Federal free and reduced breakfast and lunch program. When school ends, so do the meals.

Kitchen on the Street fills the gap – and the stomachs – of children experiencing hunger and poverty. Through partnerships with local schools, Kitchen on the Street provides pre-packaged, child-friendly food for evening and/or weekend meals. For many, these “Bags of Hope” become their primary source of food when school is not in session.
