In Houston, one in four preschool children go to bed hungry. You can make sure there is one less empty tummy! Kids' Meals is a community based organization which serves healthy lunches to preschool-aged children living in poverty. Nutritious meals are provided Monday through Friday year-round, free of cost to the families.
At MDPC, we meet the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 4:30 to 6:00pm in our Fellowship Hall with a goal of making 5,000 ham sandwiches. Each participant is asked to bring four loaves of white or wheat bread and a servant's heart. All are welcome, so come join the effort to end childhood hunger in Houston!
Registration is REQUIRED and opens on the 1st of each month.
2022 Kids' Meals Dates:
May 11, Jun 8, Aug 10, Sep 14, Oct 12, Nov 9, Dec 14
