When kids are hungry, they can’t fully engage in Club programming. To ensure they can take advantage of everything from homework help to sports and leadership programs, we provide healthy snacks every day.
This year, our friends at Legendary Foods generously donated 60,000 protein snacks to power play, learning, and growth for our members! We are grateful for their support in fueling kids and teens with healthy, nutritious, and low-sugar snacks made from high quality protein.
For our Club members, this means sustained energy for tackling homework, staying focused during STEM programs, and bringing their best energy to basketball practice. When kids have access to nutritious snacks that keep them satisfied and energized, they can fully participate in programming that helps them achieve great futures.
The Importance of Food Access
Our community is experiencing heightened food insecurity in the wake of the fires earlier this year. With 52% of our members qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and over 1,100 kids receiving need-based scholarships for tuition-free programming, access to nutritious food is fundamental to our work to support families.
Every day, we provide nutritious snacks for 600 kids after school, plus meals during full-day programming during school breaks. This means that every year, we provide food to over 2,000 kids. This gift from Legendary Foods helps us ensure that kids aren’t worried about hunger while at the Club.
Thank you, Legendary Foods, for showing up for local kids! Our community is stronger when businesses come together to invest in the next generation.
