School lunches help kids with food insecurities during the week, but who helps fill in the gaps when they're out of school? That's where the Children's Hunger Alliance steps up to offer food boxes to the kids to help make sure they don't go hungry. Superior Credit Union employees were helping them out by boxing up food that could be passed out to students in the Lima area. They also donated $6,000 to the Children's Hunger Alliance to help cover the cost of the food that they boxed up, providing around 2,400 meals.
One in four children in the Lima area aren't getting enough food, and a new partnership is working to change that. The Lima Memorial Foundation's Emerging Philanthropists and the Children's Hunger Alliance are raising awareness of the food insecurities facing the children of our community. Thursday was the kick-off of their partnership, and people in attendance were asked to donate what they would spend on a meal to support the Children's Hunger Alliance to provide healthy food.

Fresh fruit and vegetables are an essential component to meet the nutritional and food security needs of children, and the Lima City Schools are helping to meet those needs this summer. The school, in partnership with the Children's Hunger Alliance, is passing out produce boxes to families that have signed up for the service. Each Thursday, during the school's free Summer Lunch Program, a box of fresh fruits and vegetables makes its way home with the families.
The Children's Hunger Alliance, along with CareSource and one of Lima's city council members teamed up to pass out free meals to kids in need on Wednesday afternoon. The grab-and-go meals were passed out at Maplewood Apartments, which is one of six meal sites that have been set up in Lima.
Students may be missing out on lunch as school lets out for summer, but there are plenty of options to keep them satisfied, including Activate Allen County. The public health organization has teamed up with the Children's Hunger Alliance to provide free meals to children every weekday. Adults can pick up a shelf stable breakfast and lunch for their children at the South Jackson Garden in Lima. Josh Unterbrink, Co-Director of Activate Allen County says this is just one more way to curb food insecurity in our community.
