There are thousands of children who rely on free or reduced lunch during the school year, and when school ends many would go hungry without help.
Feed The Kids is a 10-week summer meals program for children living in Milwaukee's underserved neighborhoods. About 1,500 meals are distributed Monday-Friday, June-August, to 21 different neighborhoods, parks, and street corners on Milwaukee's north and south side.
The meal consists of a sandwich, fruit, snack, and juice or water. The Salvation Army has provided more than 2 million meals through the Feed The Kids program since 1990.
