🍎 No Child Should Go Hungry – Even on Weekends! At Faith in Action, we know that many children rely on school meals during the week. But on weekends, some families face tough choices when it comes to food. 🔸 1 in 7 children in the U.S. live in food-insecure households. 🔸 For some, school lunch is their only dependable meal. 🔸 Weekends and breaks often bring additional struggles. ✨ How You Can Help: ➡️ Donate non-perishable, kid-friendly items to our pantry. ➡️ Give financially – your support helps families put food on the table. ➡️ Share our services – families in need can visit our food pantry (visit our website for eligibility guidelines: https://faithinaction1.org/programs-services/ Your generosity helps fill the gaps and ensures kids in our community don’t go without. 💙 Thank you for supporting FIA! #FaithInActionMI #FightingChildHunger #CommunityCares
