Kids Cafe

What is a Kids Cafe? 
Through our Kids Cafe program, we tackle childhood hunger by providing a daily hot meal and weekly nutrition education activities to at-risk youth at community partner sites each evening after school. 

The meals we provide, prepared by the Cleveland Community Kitchen, make it possible for each site to provide a complete meal every day to participating children. 

To ensure that the children—who are often more selective eaters than many adults—are eating the foods we provide, we use a dietician to help ensure that the kid-friendly menus our staff creates are appealing while meeting government standards for healthy eating.

Can you start a Kids Cafe?
Of course you can!!  Any after school program that is interested in starting a Kids Cafe please look at the fact sheet, fill out the application and begin gathering the required information from the children enrolled in your program.
