School Break Food & Wellness Program

The School Break Food & Wellness Program in Fort Lauderdale, FL, is dedicated to ensuring that children have access to nutritious meals and enriching activities during school breaks, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring Break. Our mission is to bridge the nutrition gap by delivering healthy food assistance that meets essential dietary needs while promoting overall wellness. We adopt a multi-tiered, home-based approach that minimizes barriers to access, ensuring children can enjoy nutritious meals and participate in fitness activities that support their growth, learning, and play. In collaboration with Broward County Public Schools, we provide families not only with emergency food resources but also with opportunities for sports and physical fitness enrichment, covering associated costs. Our program extends beyond nutrition, offering advocacy, case management, and valuable referrals to local resources so that each child and their caregivers receive holistic support to thrive and succeed.
