Why some kids don’t look forward to the weekend

Make a gift to fight weekend hunger now. | [Feeding America.]( [DONATE]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Most kids love when the school bell rings on Friday and they get to spend the weekend doing the activities they love. But some kids aren't excited—they're anxious. For these kids, no school means no lunch. It means hunger. The truth is that millions of students rely on the meals they receive at school during the week. But over the weekend, not all families can afford to put food on the table. You can help children and families fill their plates—this weekend and throughout the year. [Make your $25 gift now >>]( [Will you help kids experiencing weekend hunger?]( Parents or caregivers will often go without food to ensure their kids have enough to eat, shielding them from hunger as much as possible. But new United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reporting has shown us that right now, 13 million children in homes across the country aren't getting enough food. During the week, many of those kids get meals through programs like the National School Lunch Program, but on the weekends and school breaks, they need help. Kids and their families should have enough food on the table all week.
