Summer of Feeding Children
Today, one in five children in the U.S. faces food insecurity.
During the summer months, when school meal programs pause, many families are left struggling to fill the gap.
This summer, Mercy Chefs is stepping in to help bridge that gap, ensuring kids in underserved communities have access to food even after school year ends. Through partnerships with youth camps, schools, and churches across the country, we are distributing 8,000 backpacks filled with the equivalent of seven nutritious meals, bringing tangible help to families in need.

No child should have to worry about their next meal.
Our outreach doesn’t stop there! Through our Community Kitchens, we are also serving more than 150,000 hot, chef-prepared meals to children at summer programs.
From Portsmouth, VA, to Tampa, FL, to Nashville, TN, Mercy Chefs is on the ground, raising awareness and bringing hope to children and families all summer long.
