When school is out in the Kansas City area, many children lose access to nutritional foods they need every day.

In the Harvester's Service Area:

• 108,000+ children are food insecure
• 1 in 6 children are in danger of being hungry
• Only 58% qualify for federal nutrition programs
• 10% of children in Johnson County, KS are food insecure

You can make an impact by purchasing "Summer Staples" food donations and dropping them off at Church of the Resurrection services on June 12th.

Or donate online!
