☀️ Fuel a Summer of Fun: Help Us Provide Meals for Campers! 🥪🍉 Summer camp should be a time for laughter, learning, and unforgettable memories—not hunger. For many children, the meals they receive at school are their most reliable source of nutrition. When school is out, that support often disappears. That’s where you come in. With your help, we can ensure every camper has the fuel they need to fully enjoy their summer adventures—whether they're hiking trails, exploring STEM, creating art, or building lifelong friendships. Your support provides: Daily nutritious meals and snacks for youth at camp Peace of mind for families struggling to make ends meet Energy and focus for kids to grow, play, and thrive No child should miss out on the joy of summer because of an empty stomach. ✨ Together, we can turn meals into memories and nourishment into opportunity. Donate today to provide summer camp meals—and help kids soak up every sunny moment, strong and smiling.
