Harris County Commissioners Court approved an agreement with Houston Food Bank to bring the Kids Café Program to Precinct 4 community centers. This program provides free, nutritious meals to children and teens after school and during summer breaks. The Houston Food Bank operates Kids Café sites across our region, serving areas where many families struggle to afford healthy food. These meal programs help kids get the nutrition they need to grow, learn, and stay healthy. When children have access to regular meals, they perform better in school and have more energy for activities. The program targets areas where families face food insecurity - when people don't have reliable access to enough affordable, nutritious food. Precinct 4 includes communities in northwest Harris County like Tomball, Cypress, and parts of Spring. Community centers in these areas will now serve as safe spaces where kids can eat free meals and often get homework help or participate in activities. Parents and caregivers don't need to worry about income requirements or paperwork - the meals are free for all children who show up. To find participating community centers in Precinct 4, contact Commissioner Jack Cagle's office or visit Harris County Precinct 4's website. You can also call Houston Food Bank directly to learn about other Kids Café locations throughout Harris County.
