Feed Kids Like Maya’s
The story about Maya* and her three kids reflects the vital work we do at Every Meal. As a newly single mom starting over after a domestic violence situation, getting connected with our Weekend Meal Program has helped her growing kids remain nourished on the weekends while she manages a tight budget as she moves forward.
Your donation today means we can continue to feed Maya’s kids and the many others who face food insecurity on the weekends. AND thanks to Thrivent, your donation today will be matched, doubling your impact.

As the social worker at Maya’s kids’ school explains, kids who are hungry on weekends are more likely to have “attendance issues (either not coming at all, coming in tardy, or many absences due to illness), less engagement at school, and negative impact on academic success like grades.”
