Kids need something to do this summer?

The Giving Tree Summer Feeding Program needs responsible teens to help prepare and serve meals to needy children Monday through Friday from May 23 until August 8. This program provides 2 meals a day to children that receive free or reduced fee meals during the school year.

The workday is Monday through Friday from 7:30a.m. until around 2:30p.m. Reliability and punctuality are critical. Hundreds of children depend on us being dependable! If we aren't - they don't eat that day!! The workday ends early in the day and no weekends are involved so there is still plenty of time to enjoy summer recess and help fight hunger at the same time.

For more information about the Summer Feeding Program, go to our EVENTS page. Contact us at 4kids@dakotacom.net to express your interest in volunteering this summer.

How can I volunteer? Start here!

Project FEED - Come out on a Thursday or Sunday evening to the empty lot on 22nd St. between Columbus and Swan (West of the Family Dollar Store). We set up at 4:00 pm and start serving at 5:00 pm. We serve over 200 meals each night plus pass out clothing, toiletries, and provide case management. No forms required! If you can bring food to share that would be an extra bonus to all our guests. Bring your favorit pot luck recipe in an aluminum pan (there is no running water at the lot) or just stop at the grocery for something quick.

Come to the back of the lot to sign in at our volunteer table or just look for someone with a Giving Tree t-shirt or security shirt on to see where your help will best be used.
