FIND Food Bank will operate at numerous sites across the Coachella Valley this summer to provide healthy snacks and groceries to children through its 17-week Kids Summer Market program, which runs from June 1 to Sept. 30 to help fill the gap left by the loss of school meals.

For more information: Visit findfoodbank.org or call 760-775-3663.

Families can pick up kid-friendly snack packs and groceries at participating locations, but be sure to check FIND Food Bank’s map and calendar for exact dates and times.
