Summer Lunch Program Ensures Sandy Springs Kids Won't Go Hungry

Citizens are encouraged to help provide local kids lunches this summer with Community Assistance Center.

Don’t let local children go hungry this summer. With the Community Assistance Center you can provide summer lunches for children who may otherwise go without. Summers can be stressful for families on tight budgets due to increased costs for childcare and food for children who get free lunches at school.

A CAC Summer Lunch Bag helps families by providing children with free lunches for a week. A Summer Lunch Bag contains 5 kid-friendly lunches and costs about $35. Contents include 5 juice boxes, 5 snack bars, 5 fruit cups 4 oz., 1 box of mac & cheese, 1 can pasta meals (i.e. SpaghettiOs), 1 tuna & crackers pack, 1 instant yakisoba and 1 chili bowl. Assemble items in a 2.5 gallon Ziplock bag. Or just donate items or make a donation online, either way helps local children in need!
