“We’ve had hungry kids with us during the summer before. They would linger after the end of the day, and they would ask the staff to make them meals. We aren’t having that this year. Thank you I Can for Kids for your support!”

“I am so glad you guys are coming to this park, I haven’t eaten in three days, thank you so much!”

“I Can for Kids truly came at a perfect time. I have left an unsafe situation which consisted of abuse of many forms, specifically financial abuse. You have totally warmed mine and my children’s heart.”

“Many families expressed to our staff how helpful the I Can for Kids program was for them, decreasing their stress. Many expressed particular gratitude for the help the food packs provided during the expensive back to school season.”

Hull Services

“The individuals we work with are often dealing with various barriers, and food security is consistently one. We usually do not have the opportunity to address the need in the capacity that we have this summer through our partnership with I Can for Kids, and it has been so great!”

“When the kids saw the bananas the first week, they were so excited – as if they’d wont the lottery. It was amazing to see how happy they were to get something as simple as a banana. It’s also a reminder of the level of need in the community.”
