When school is out in the summer, a point of access to healthy meals for children and youth is off the table. Our summer meals program has been filling the gap for thirty years. With several sites across the city of Schenectady and neighboring towns, the program provides meals to hundreds of children and youth while providing an opportunity to spend time in community outdoors.
In 2023, the program distributed close to 13,000 meals across 19 sites in Rotterdam, Schenectady, and Scotia thanks to the efforts of dozens of volunteers, the financial, recruitment, and strategic support of many individuals, faith communities, and regional funders, with the oversight of the NYS Department of Education’s Summer Food Services Program.
Join us in ensuring that no child goes hungry this summer. Together, we can make a difference in our community.
This program is only possible with the support of our partners, including:
