Kids Cafe

The Kids Cafe program has focused its efforts to address critical issues of childhood hunger since 1998 when the North Texas Food Bank opened 4 Kids Cafe sites with corporate donations from Capital One. Capital One is a Founding Partner of 11 Kids Cafes for the North Texas Food Bank. In June, 2005, Capital One Auto Finance became the Founding Partner of the McKinney Boys & Girls Club Cafe with a grand opening event.

Currently, the Food Bank operates 27 Kids Cafe sites with generous funding from Capital One and the Crystal Charity Ball.

The Kids Cafe sites provide a nutritious evening meal to children enrolled in after school programs established by Food Bank member agencies. Kids Cafe serve 1,000 children 2-3 meals per week during the school year at an average cost of $1.14 per meal. Last year 140,000 meals were served through the program. The Kids Cafe program ensures children in the Food Bank service area don’t go to bed hungry.
