Summer Food Service Program

Over 400 Meals Served!

With the support of FACCES teens, 469 meals have been served through the Summer Food Service Program. Over the past two months, both snacks and supper were provided at no cost to children aged 1 to 18. What made this program special was the opportunity for teens to use fresh fruits and vegetables grown in the FACCES greenhouse and garden.

After the harvest, the produce was used by the teens to prepare daily meals. They learned to incorporate the freshest ingredients into their dishes, gaining valuable culinary skills along the way. Beyond the kitchen, it was inspiring to see the lasting relationships formed as a result of working closely together. This program has been about more than just food—it’s been about community, growth, and the lifelong skills these young people will carry with them.
