Yesterday, we had to pause meal deliveries due to the freeze. Today, the team is going out with smiles as they deliver over 8,200 much-anticipated meals! Your support has allowed THIS to happen. We are feeling the good vibes today at Kids’ Meals- Drop a “❤️” below if you’re feeling it too!

We need your help feeding children as we prepare for extreme winter weather! Monday and Tuesday are predicted to have freezing rain with a hard freeze to follow. While this freeze isn't predicted to be as severe as in February 2021, we are preparing in the event of power outages. As of yesterday, we shifted to packing shelf-stable lunches that could outlast the storm and a power outage. Plus, thanks to our friends at The Reagan Project, we delivered 3,600 extra shelf-stable grocery bags this week to support whole families. We remain committed to feeding children during this time, but we can't do it without you! 1. Donate to fill the gap and provide more expensive shelf-stable lunches - $3.25 can ensure a child receives a meal that won't spoil during the storm. Visit kidsmealsinc.org/give 2. Pack DIY lunches at home - pack a protein, snack, fruit, and drink into a brown bag and bring them to Kids' Meals once it's safe. Details at the end of the video! 3. Sign up to volunteer after the storm - replenish our stock of meals! Visit kidsmealsinc.org/volunteer
