Kids Cafe®, a program of America's Second Harvest - The Nation's Food Bank Network, feeds needy children a hot, nutritious meal, served by volunteers in a restaurant-like setting. At Kids Cafe, kids learn basic nutrition and the importance of good eating habits while they enjoy a hot, well-balanced meal in a safe environment once a week. They also participate in tutoring, life skills lessons, arts and crafts and other enriching activities. The Food Bank operates four Kids Cafes in the Memphis area, in partnership with local children's organizations and sponsored by local corporations and civic organizations.
