1 in 4 local children depend on public school meals as their primary source of food.

What happens when school is out?

United Way Southwest Louisiana partners with Summer Feeding Programs to provide Weekend Food Packs for these children. We collect individually wrapped, self-serve food and drink items. 

HELP US FILL WEEKEND FOOD PACKS WITH THE COLLECTED ITEMS.

  • No one under the age of 15 is permitted, even with an adult

5 out of 6 children who participate in an in-school lunch program do not receive meals during the summer. Many of these same children go without food on the weekends during school. Summer can be very difficult for at-risk kids without access to school lunch programs, so Summer Feeding Programs are provided. United Way Southwest Louisiana takes weekend feeding up by providing the programs with a bag of meals and snacks that administrators can give to each child to take home on Friday.

SATURDAY, MAY 17, 2025: 9 AM-NOON

The event will be held at United Way Southwest Louisiana
815 Ryan Street, Lake Charles, Louisiana 70601
