Welcome

Healthy Kidz Food-service was created to provide access to nutritious food and options to children residing in under served communities. We are dedicated to giving youth a fighting chance against hunger, disease and trauma, where they live, worship, play and practice.

By partnering with us you will be providing children nutritious meals, freeing up food purchasing funds for other programs and helping struggling families stretch their food budgets. Starting May 1, projects serving youth, ages 5 - 18, living in under served communities are welcome to apply for this Fresh, Healthy Food Access Opportunity.
