Hungry kids don’t dream of
the future. They dream of food.
We’re feeding their dreams.
Serving Our Kids CEO Laurie Tanakaya talks about the ever-growing problem of child food insecurity and how we’re fighting to feed hungry kids across the Las Vegas valley.
Every day more than 100,000 kids in Clark County alone don’t get enough to eat.
School breakfast and lunch programs feed many of these kids during the school year, but few schools provide food assistance on weekends.
Thousands of kids leave school on Friday not knowing if they will eat again before Monday.
