When Summer Starts, Abbotsford Kids Will Lose Access to School Meals

Your caring gift of $168.42 keeps them fed all summer long with Starfish Packs.

For hundreds of kids in Abbotsford, summer break isn’t just about fun and games. It means losing access to reliable school meals that their families count on all year long.

Working parents in our community are already stretched thin with the rising cost of living, especially when it comes to basics like housing and food.

Yet because they can’t count on school meals for their kids through the summer, parents will be forced to make impossible choices between paying rent or buying groceries. Many work full-time jobs (sometimes even more than one) yet they still struggle to make ends meet when additional meal costs hit their already tight budgets.

This is where you and your kindness come in.

If you’re able to give to the Summer Starfish Pack Program today, you can ensure children don’t go hungry during the break.

Each pack is filled with kid-friendly, nutritious foods children actually enjoy eating—like cereal, tuna, beans, grains, soups, bread, peanut butter, jam, snacks, and fresh fruits and vegetables. And it’s available all summer long right up until school starts again.

For just $168.42, you can provide one child with their Starfish Packs for the entire summer.

With your help, families can focus on making summer memories instead of worrying about empty refrigerators. Parents can breathe easier knowing their children won’t go hungry when school is out.

Will you help fill a pack (or two) today?

Summer break starts June 27th, and we need to have all packs ready before the final school bell rings.

Thank you for showing kindness and care to your Abbotsford neighbours this summer!
