Meals are prepared fresh in our kitchen, delivered free of charge, and meet or exceed USDA nutritional guidelines. Our kitchen is the largest Summer Food Service sponsor in Louisiana, serving the children that need it most.
Both Kids Café and Summer Feeding are offered through a partnership with the Department of Education and the USDA, as part of the Child Nutrition Act.
If you are an after-school childcare facility interested in receiving free hot meals for your students this fall, please contact Children’s Program Manager Tanya O’Reilly at toreilly@no-hunger.org or 504-729-2837.
We are always looking for sponsors for these major programs, which incur a significant cost to operate. If you’d like to help underwrite Summer Feeding and/or Kids Cafe, please contact our Associate Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations, Amelia Whittington at 504-729-2840 or awhittington@no-hunger.org
You can also make a direct donation to support these vital childhood nutrition programs. Every $1 raised helps us provide 3 meals for children in need.
Second Harvest partners with 11 New Orleans Recreation Development Commission (NORD) centers to serve free after-school suppers and snacks. Meals run October 5, 2026, through May 14, 2027. To receive a meal or snack, children must be enrolled at the center and take part in its after-school enrichment activity, per Department of Education guidelines. Contact the center directly to ask about enrollment.
