Friday Phun Day: Help Us Fight Summer Hunger ❤️

This summer, we need your help to prepare meals for our neighbors.

Hunger doesn’t take the summer off. In fact, it can be even harder. Homebound seniors face isolation and extreme heat, kids lose access to school meals, and many neighbors experiencing homelessness struggle to find consistent food and support.

With your help, we can prepare and deliver 100,000 nutritious meals and waters to neighbors who may not have food, A/C, or someone looking out for them.

Ready to share food, friendship, and hope? Join us here: www.caringforfriends.org/friday-phunday
