A Mission to
Lift Kids Out of Poverty
Our Mission
Our mission is to help kids break out of poverty and become independent, successful adults. We provide highly nutritious weekend backpack meals to thousands of kids and give scholarships and mentoring to high school students. By nourishing bodies and minds, Feeding Dreams is breaking the cycle of poverty with a program that improves health and educational performance, resulting in self-sufficient futures for our kids.
Hunger in Florida is at epidemic levels—one in five kids go hungry. Since our founding in 2014, we’ve provided more than 15 million meals to at-risk kids.
Feeding Dreams delivers nutritious meals to these “empty-refrigerator kids” who go hungry over the weekends. What happens when hungry kids return to school having not eaten for 68 long hours? They lose the opportunity to learn on Monday, 20% of their school week. We set out to solve the problem of what we call “Lost Mondays” by feeding kids through our Power Pack Program.
