From the mouth of a child
“Thank you for everything for the food and kindness”
“A big thanks for our good hot lunches. They are really good for our health”
“If it wasn’t for you, my Mom wouldn’t know what to do!! Thanks a bunch.”
“Thank you for all of the food and you changed a lot of lives”“I am so happy to have food everyday for lunch. I am so thankful” “Without you guys we would probably have to ask our parents for more money for lunches. And then we wouldn’t be able to have money for rent and we’d live on the street. Thanks a bunch for all of your generosity.”
"A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove...but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child."
