This organization’s very important mission is to help battle childhood hunger and food insecurity in the Toledo area. 1 and 4 children are affected in Lucas County with childhood hunger. The Senator Group team shared positive messages though note cards, stickers, and fun foods to nourish the kids’ bodies and souls. 

It Takes a Village

Our North American team, driven by empathy and a sense of social responsibility, took the initiative to support Connecting Kids to Meals in their fight against childhood hunger.  They generously sponsored and volunteered to pack 1,000-weekend meal bags, each filled with nutritious food that would otherwise be out of reach for many children. These meal bags are a lifeline, ensuring that kids do not have to go without them during the weekends when school meal programs are unavailable.

Beyond food, our team also shared their love and care through note cards, stickers, and fun foods, nurturing not just the kids' bodies but their souls as well. These personal touches communicate the genuine care and concern we hold for the community we are part of. The positive messages and small surprises in the meal bags bring smiles to the faces of children who often struggle in silence. Kelcy Jackson a part of the North American team said “ It is a very fulfilling feeling to help provide for those children in need”.

The Importance of Childhood Nutrition

Childhood nutrition is fundamental to physical and mental development. A well-nourished child has better cognitive abilities, enhanced school performance, and improved emotional well-being. Sadly, a lack of proper nutrition can lead to long-lasting health issues and hinder a child's potential. Organizations like Connecting Kids to Meals understand this, and their commitment to fighting childhood hunger is a testament to their dedication to ensuring a brighter future for the children of Toledo, Ohio.
