#StopLearningLoss

“If it wasn’t for the Y, I would have probably never had food in my belly and I would have just slept or moped all summer long until school started again.” Loaves & Fishes-YMCA Partnership Meet Ray

1 in 3 families do not have enough food to feed their children during the summer. That’s more than 225,000 kids in the Twin Cities area. Ray is not Alone.

The end result is more than a miserable summer. Low-income children lose 2 to 3 months of reading skills each summer.

You Can Make a Difference $35 will buy a child 5 books to keep them reading throughout the summer $50 will buy literacy games, flash cards and craft materials for a summer learning program $80 will supply two meals a day for four children for the entire summer
