The Meals On Wheels For Kids program was created in March of this year in response to COVID-19 closing many schools and taking many children’s main access to food with it. The program is run by the Tampa Bay Network to End Hunger, a coalition of over 350 members committed to ending hunger in Tampa Bay by eliminating barriers to getting nutritious food to the people who need it.
