Harbor City Food Share Starts Free Weekend Meal Program for Kids

HARBOR CITY – Harbor City Food Share will give free weekend meal bags to school children starting in September, so students who rely on weekday school meals still have food at home on Saturdays and Sundays. Bags can be picked up each Friday afternoon at three community centers. No sign-up and no income paperwork are required.

Each bag is packed for one child and includes shelf-stable meals, fruit, and snacks for both weekend days. The nonprofit will work with school counselors and neighborhood groups to spread the word in English and Spanish.

"No child should be hungry on the weekend," said Sam Ortiz, program lead (fictional person). "Families already stretch every dollar. This is one less thing to worry about before Monday."

Harbor City Food Share needs volunteers to pack bags on Thursday evenings and drivers to help restock the three pickup sites. Local grocery partners are donating staples; cash gifts cover fresh produce and delivery costs.

Program details, volunteer shifts, and donation options will be posted on the group’s website (fictional) by mid-August. Media may visit a packing night with 24 hours’ notice.
