Many children in low-income neighborhoods do not receive well-balanced evening meals because their caregivers work late hours or cannot afford nutritious food. Children must receive appropriate nutrition in order to develop properly and perform well in school.
Kids Cafe serves as a direct partnership between the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank and existing after-school programs.
Kids Cafes are safe, nurturing places where neighborhood children can go after school and receive a hot dinner, as well as help with homework from caring individuals. |
|
|
Kids Cafe sites are chosen based on:
- Availability of after-school enrichment programs,
- Percentage of free or reduced subsidized lunch recipients in an area, and
- Proximity to low-income neighborhoods where children are most in need.
Foundation and corporate grants, individuals, and churches support Kids Cafes. Continuing and long-term financial support can help us to open additional Kids Cafes and to sustain the program into the future.
Kids Cafe is an official program of Feeding America, there are more than 1,600 locally operated Kids Cafes across the nation. Wichita Falls Area Food Bank currently operates 9 Kids Cafes in Wichita Falls, Burkburnett, and Henrietta serving more than 3500 meals to more than 381 children in need per month.
