Kids NOW Food Program

In Redwood City, CA, the Kids NOW Food Program, a vital initiative of Project WeHOPE in partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank, strives to alleviate weekend food insecurity for low-income families. Understanding the stress parents face when their children rely on school meals during the week, this program offers crucial nutrition assistance for children and teens by providing supplemental food each weekend. Every Thursday, dedicated volunteers ensure that families can pick up a free bag of healthy groceries for every child aged 18 and under, helping to meet their nutritional needs when school is not in session. By bridging the gap between nutritious weekday meals and the challenges of weekends, the Kids NOW Food Program is committed to supporting the well-being of our community's children.
