Help Feed Hungry Kids: Now Accepting 2018 Holiday Food Donations
Many low-income families rely on free breakfast and lunch school programs to feed their children. In fact, in the Santa Clara County School District, more than 50 percent of students are eligible to receive meals for a free or reduced price.
During the holidays, many of these children miss meals and go hungry. For other families, the holidays means soaring food costs that make it hard to budget for other bills and payments.
To support local families and ensure that no child goes hungry this holiday season, we’re collecting food donations at our San Jose Family Services Center.
