Feeding Our Future: 2026 Summer Meals Program

At Mt. Vernon Client Choice Food Pantry, we believe that no child should have to worry about where their next meal is coming from. Our Summer Meals Program is designed to bridge the nutrition gap for students during the summer break, providing healthy, kid-friendly lunches directly from our pantry.
