Ohio families are feeling the impact of SNAP delays — From November 5-12, we’re offering complimentary kids meals to youth (18 & under) for households relying on SNAP benefits, so no family has to choose between feeding their children or feeding themselves.

We’re grateful to support our neighbors — one warm meal at a time.
