95% of East Palo Alto students are eligible for free or reduced-price meals at their schools. During the summer, students lose access to these school meals. We're partnering with Ravenswood School District, the San Mateo County Library System, local YMCAs, and the Pediatric Advocacy Program at Stanford School of Medicine to provide food to these kids.

Jessica came to us with an idea — she wanted to give kids who have experienced food insecurity the chance to express their stories. With our support, she facilitated a 10-week creative writing course to a class of 5th and 6th graders in Redwood City. She shares her experience in a two-part blog post series.
