Windsor food program addresses growing need among local children
Local children facing hunger will have access to food with the launch of Summer Eats for Kids program in Windsor-Essex. The program, launched by United Way, begins on July 8 to ensure children have access to healthy food and books while out of school. More than 4,000 food bags were provided to over 1,200 families last year through the program. Each food bag provides a week's worth of snacks, fresh produce and books. The need for food is growing in the community, as children represent 30 per cent of food bank visitors. Lorraine Goddard, CEO, United Way Windsor Essex Chatham Kent, said the program helps kids have the summer they deserve. 'When school ends, many children lose access to daily meals and learning opportunities,' said Goddard. 'We see it first-hand; families are doing their best, but the gap is real.' The program is made possible through local businesses, volunteers and donors. The books, provided by Women United members, encourage summer reading. United Way is asking the community to help meet rising needs. One way to help is through a raffle United Way is hosting until July 1, with all proceeds supporting Summer Eats.
