"Many of the students we serve come from environments where poverty is a common denominator, leading to food insecurity at home.

When students are well nourished, teachers have reported a profound improvement in their behaviors and academic success. Thanks to benefactors like Access Communications, we can continue to feed 1,090 children in 17 schools for the 2024-25 school year. Their generous contribution will provide meals for our children for an entire month of school, and we are profoundly grateful to Access Communications Children's Charity." - Lin Gennutt, Executive Director
