2012 Kids Summer Stock

Our kids need you!

More than 300,000 children in our 34 counties are in the free and reduced breakfast and lunch programs at school. For them, summertime doesn't mean a fun filled vacation; for them, no school means no meals.

Now in its fifth year, Kids Summer Stock is a community-wide food and funds drive to provide the additional food needed to support these children and their families, as well as supporting summer meals programs. The two month campaign helps to fill the empty shelves of Food Bank warehouses in Durham, Greenville, New Bern, Raleigh, Sandhills and Wilmington during the summer.

Join us for the kickoff of Kids Summer Stock on June 2 at Southpoint Mall! The "Champions for Kids Hunger Relief Day" event will feature a drive-through food drive and building of unique structures out of cans by local architectural firms.

Help us ensure that children will receive the daily, nutritious meals they need to grow healthy and strong.  Our goal is to provide two million meals this year!
