The Supplemental Food Program at Galilee Center provides nutritious food to low-income children in the Eastern Coachella Valley when school is not in session and free school lunch is unavailable. Serving primarily Hispanic children from farmworker and migrant families, the program helps address food insecurity during summer, winter, and spring breaks, as well as school holidays. Food packages include essential items such as bread, dairy products, peanut butter, cereal, canned soups, meats, fruits, and vegetables, with each child receiving enough food for two weeks. The program supports approximately 2,928 children and 2,841 families annually, ensuring continued access to healthy meals during school closures. Funding for the program is critical to meeting community needs and maintaining food assistance services for vulnerable children throughout the year!
