Caniyah is a fifth grader who loves puppies, cooking and making slime, like so many other children her age. She also dreams of going into technology when she grows up.
Access to nutritious meals helps give her the nourishment she needs to fuel her future and turn her dreams into reality. Thanks to generous donors like you, children like Caniyah can count on our Kids Café for meals and snacks that help keep them focused at school and ready for the day.
When she’s hungry, Caniyah says her legs and stomach hurt. “I feel weak,” she explains. But after she eats, Caniyah says she feels full. She’s able to focus on her day instead of feeling hungry.
Thanks to you, Kids Cafés are available at after-school sites around central and western Oklahoma that also provide mentoring, tutoring and activities to keep students busy. These sites are open during the summer months as well, offering a reliable source of nutritious meals while school is out.
Caniyah loves the meals she’s had this summer, especially the salad, the fish fingers and the chili pie.
“Oh yeah,” she says. “It’s good here!”
With your support, Caniyah can continue to rely on our Kids Café for the nutritious meals and snacks that will help her learn and grow throughout the school year, too!
Thank you for providing meals for Oklahoma children. Your gifts help fuel bright futures!
