No child should go to bed hungry

        Every year, more than 30,000 children in Lucas County don’t have enough food to eat. When the school year ends, so do the school lunch programs that give most of them at least one meal a day. Poor and hungry, some children are so desperate they dive into dumpsters to search through the garbage for their next meal.
        Many children and families living in poverty don’t know where to turn for help. “Feed Lucas County Children (FLCC) isn’t a food bank or a soup kitchen. Instead, we provide children with free meals that are balanced, healthy, and hot. Our program has coordinated a community-wide initiative involving over 80 agencies to offer a safe haven, educational programs, and sports during critical summer months,” says Tony Siebeneck, Executive Director of FLCC. “During the school year, these same agencies count on FLCC to increase the number of children attending after-school learning programs."
Feed Lucas County Children Inc. is holding it's first annual Hunger Awareness Family Festival!
The event will be held on July 27th from 2:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. at the Corner of Centennial & Brint Rd in Sylvania.

A million meals served
        The nonprofit, 501(c)(3) FLCC has been fighting child hunger in Lucas County since 2002. Since its inception, FLCC has prepared and delivered over 1.2 million meals.
        In Lucas County alone, over 30,000 children won't have enough food this year. When the school year ends, so do school lunch programs. And that's when desperation sets in.
        “Feed Lucas County Children (FLCC) fills this dangerous gap, serving healthy meals, educational programs, and sports," says Siebeneck.

Growing Opportunities
           With your help, we’ve become not only one of Ohio’s largest and most successful summer food programs, but also a foundation that serves over 80 nonprofits, churches, schools, and other organizations. We feed up to 7,000 children a day, but there are more than 30,000 hungry kids in Lucas County.
            Together, we can feed all of them.
