Amazing food and Food 4 Kids T-shirts for everyone, organized by our Steering Committee: Cynthia Murray, Jack Kadzik, Page McMahon, May O'Reilly, Brian Ridgeway and Allison Wetzel.

Food 4 Kids had a great time at the Family Fun Fair on April 1st.

We connected with other organizations serving the families of Cape Cod while children enjoyed making bookmarks with us.


I am so glad that the town of Orleans is so fortunate to have this program available to the youth and community. I want to thank everyone at Food 4 Kids for their hard work and commitment to success. We in Orleans look forward to working with everyone again next summer.
