Help Alleviate Child Hunger, Support Kids Cafe

A child needs your help. Our Kids Cafe program provides meals for over 1,800 children daily in the Washington metropolitan area; and with school in session, the increasing number of children dependent on Kids Cafe is stretching our food supply thin.

By making a donation to Kids Cafe, you will provide nutritious meals to children in the program who often rely on this daily feast. Click here to donate now.

A donation of:
$25 = 75 meals
$50 = 150 meals
$100 = 300 meals
