Small Miracles has served over 23,000 lunches to date. Many children are at riskof not having enough to eat at home or just going without during the summer whenschool is not in session. Small Miracles fill that gap and is committed toextending the campaign to offer more lunches at additional servings sites andadding additional opportunity during other school breaks. Small Miracles depends on the entire community for donations to fund the non foodportion of the program and for volunteers to serve the kids Monday throughThursday during the summer. Over 350 volunteers help serve the children. Thesummer lunch program follows the strict guidelines from the USDA and the localhealth department. Parents are invited at the end of the summer to attend a life skills workshop opportunity around Thanksgiving which allows them to attend 2 one hour classes onhousehold budgeting, car maintenance and cooking on a budget to name a few.
