End Summer Hunger is Hopelink’s annual grassroots campaign aimed at ensuring that school kids have enough to eat during the summer months. The fund and food drives – running through August – bring together local businesses, organizations, schools and individuals to help provide low-income families with food for kids who receive free and reduced-fee breakfasts and lunches during the school year.

The campaign takes on the gap in regular nutritious daytime meals for kids who are on summer break, while also addressing increasing demand at Hopelink’s five emergency service centers while the school programs are on hiatus.

The proceeds from End Summer Hunger will stock the food banks for the high-demand summer months.
