A child’s chance for a bright tomorrow starts with getting enough food to eat today.
Hunger deprives kids of more than just food.
It’s a fact that children who get enough to eat begin life at a serious advantage.
That’s why, for more than a decade, Ruidoso Food 4 Kids has worked to make sure that Lincoln County elementary school students who are at risk of hunger have access to nutritious food when free school meals are unavailable.
National School Lunch Programs
Twenty-two million children receive free or reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch Program and the National School Breakfast Program. For many of these children, school meals may be the only meals they eat.
What happens when they go home?
We provide nutritious, non-perishable, easy-to-prepare meals to children to ensure they get enough food on weekends and holidays to avoid hunger when they can’t depend on school meals.
Help us keep children healthy.
We have a responsibility to the next generation to give them every opportunity to succeed — which in turn will strengthen our communities and our country. That’s why feeding children facing hunger is a main priority of Ruidoso Food 4 Kids, but we can’t do it without your help.
“With the support from Food 4 Kids, our students are able to benefit from what teachers do best—helping children learn.”
