#2. Feed hungry children

There are 21,000 students in Sarasota County (50%) on free or reduced-price lunch. Without your help, they may go hungry this summer. Just $25 will feed 7 children lunch for a week; and $150 will feed those 7 children for a month. Please support the Campaign Against Summer Hunger.

To learn more about child hunger in our community, watch this short video.
