Hunger Doesn’t Take a Summer Break
When school is out for the summer, thousands of children lose access to the meals they depend on during the school year. For many families in our community, that leaves a serious gap.
Christian Community Action’s Kids Eat Free summer program helps fill that gap by providing weekly breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks for children who receive free or reduced-price meals during the school year.
Children receive meals throughout the summer so they have the nourishment they need to grow, learn, and thrive.
Help Feed 1,250 Children This Summer
Every week, volunteers will deliver shelf-stable breakfasts, lunches, and snacks, and fresh produce to select neighborhood sites, placing food directly into children’s hands. At the same time, families shopping in the CCA Food Market will receive a weekly Kids Eat Free food box that includes breakfasts, lunches, snacks, fresh produce and an engaging activity. It is practical help that meets real needs with dignity.
This year, our goal is to feed 1,250 children all summer long. That equals 137,500!

Real Change in Our Community
The Need Is Real
In Denton County, 37% of children qualify for free or reduced-price meals during the school year. When school is out, many families struggle to replace those meals.
Bridging the Summer Gap
Across North Texas, 1 in 5 children faces food insecurity. Kids Eat Free helps ensure children continue receiving the nutrition they need all summer long.
Creating Lasting Impact
Your support provides more than meals. It gives children the fuel they need to learn, grow, and enjoy their summer while giving parents peace of mind.
