Nutrition Programs
Kid’s Cafe, a program of America’s Second Harvest and ConAgra’s Feeding Children Better Foundation, is the nation’s largest charitable meal service and nutrition education program exclusively for kids. Children attending Gomez Heritage are encouraged to stay for the daily meal which is prepared and served by Camp Fire volunteers.
The Camp Fire Food Program is designed to provide kids with nourishing food seven days a week. Every day after school, kids rely on Camp Fire to offer them a well-balanced snack that, for many, serves as their evening meal. Weekends are especially hard on those who rely on school and Camp Fire for food.
The Weekend Food Program is a unique idea that addresses a very real problem in our community: child hunger. Camp Fire recognizes that kids cannot learn when their stomachs are aching and they’re worried about when the next meal will come. Through our Weekend Food program, children receive backpacks filled with healthy, child-friendly food on Fridays so that they will have food through the weekend. The program is almost entirely volunteer-operated.
