Mission
DINNERS FOR KIDS MISSION IS TO ENSURE THAT NO CHILD GOES TO BED ON AN EMPTY STOMACH BY PROVIDING PREPARED NUTRITIOUS AND BALANCED DINNERS TO CHILDREN IN NEED. THE PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED TO USE VENDORS, COMMERCIAL FOOD SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS (RESTAURANTS OR CATERERS), TO PREPARETHE MEALS. DINNERS FOR KIDS IS TRYING TO CHANGE THIS NEGATIVE TREND BY DELIVERING SIX DINNERS A WEEK, 52 WEEKS A YEAR, TO THE CHILDREN'S HOMES. THE CHILDREN ARE REFERRED TO THE PROGRAM BY THE SCHOOLS' GUIDANCE COUNSELORS AND THE COUNTY CHILDREN & YOUTH FIELD OFFICERS.
