FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) – Community Harvest Food Bank has announced its sponsorship of the Kids Cafe Food Program.
Reports say that this program, also known as the Child and Adult Care Food Program, offers free meals to all enrolled participants, regardless of race, color, national origin, age, sex, or disability.
Communications Coordinator Jessica Sheets advises “Studies suggest children’s learning outcome suffers when they regularly experience hunger. Food insecurity affects concentration, memory, mood and motor skills, all of which are vital for a child to be successful in school.”
Food is provided by Community Harvest Food Bank and prepared at feeding sites (listed below) by staff and volunteers.
