"The mission of Kids' Meals, Inc. is to provide healthy home-delivered lunches to hungry pre-school aged children under five, living in poverty, five days a week, year-round."
We strive for Houston to be known as the first city to have no hungry children.
Kids' Meals, Inc. would not survive without its volunteers. Feeding Children So They Do Not Go To Bed Hungry
"Texas ranks 3rd in the nation for food insecurity, meaning one in five adults and one in four children in our state are hungry, and that is simply unacceptable."
- Texas Department of Agriculture Commissioner, Todd Staples
Kids' Meals is a 501(c)3 non profit, community based organization, serving around 1200 pre-school aged children a day, living in poverty. We provide and deliver nutritious meals, free of cost to the family, Monday through Friday, year-round.
About Us
The first meals on wheels program for children started in 1984. The program was started with one location in North Houston. A second location in East Houston was aquired in 2006. In 2008, Kids' Meals was infused with a new energetic and actively involved Board of Directors that is fulfilling our mission of ending hunger among Houston area children living in poverty.
