Feed the Kids: Driver

There are thousands of children who rely on free or reduced lunch during the school year, and when school ends many would go hungry without help.

About 1,500 meals are distributed Monday-Friday, June-August, to 21 different neighborhoods, parks, and street corners on Milwaukee's north and south side. The meal consists of a sandwich, fruit, snack, and juice or water. The Salvation Army has provided more than 2 million meals through the Feed The Kids program since 1990.
