A Very Merry (Drive Through) Dinner

What We Do

Throughout the School Year

We distribute more than 60,000 Birdie Bags filled with meals and snacks for area children in need.

During the Holidays

A Very Merry Dinner provides a holiday meal and gifts for food-insecure children in four local school districts, which families can pick up in a convenient drive-through and enjoy together during the holidays.
