The mission of Connecting Kids to Meals–formerly Feed Lucas County Children–is to provide hot, nutritious meals at no cost to kids in low-income and underserved areas.

Since the nonprofit organization began operating in 2002, it has served more than 6 million meals to children.

Recently, in partnership with Cherry Street Mission Ministries, Connecting Kids to Meals built a state-of-the-art kitchen in its downtown location.

There, meals are prepared and packaged to be delivered to partner locations in Lucas, Wood, Hancock, Seneca and Williams counties.

Any organization interested in partnering with Connecting Kids to Meals may visit the website.

Volunteers interested in helping at a site can find more information on the website.
