Our goal is to get food to kids, families and those in need.

After months of planning and anticipation on June 1, 2018, Food For Kidz opened a Spokane, Washington office and warehouse! This new secondary location will be used to promote, organize, create and service meal packing events around the Spokane, WA and surrounding areas.

Food for Kidz mission is to bring awareness of hunger to the community

We bring awareness by using education and involving others in the participation of packing nutritious meals then distributing them to local food banks, schools and charities.

On May 29th Food For Kidz sent an entire semi load of bulk food to Spokane, Washington from Stewart, Minnesota in anticipation of opening an office and warehouse there. Upon arrival on the 31st, 21 pallets of bulk food equaling 300,000 meals were unloaded into a warehouse.

A total of 10 volunteers and the owner John Neisen of Food For Kidz immediately set up two packing lines in preparation for creating meals that night. This ensured meals could go out to those in need the following day. As music played in the background one volunteer was overheard saying, “This feels really good to give back and help those in need! We want to do this again.”.

In just 1.5 hours 1,297 meals were created and packed. The following day, HRC Ministries of Spokane, WA distributed the food to two local schools and one food bank.

We are only a few days away from Minnesota’s largest day of giving!!

On November 16, 2017 you can help make a difference. At only 15 cents a meal your donation will make a lasting impact on a child’s life.
