Horizons at The Ethel Walker School

"1 in 6 children in Connecticut experience food insecurity."

Ribar, D.C., Harris, V., Dewey, A., and Englehard, E., (2025). Map the Meal Gap: An Analysis of Local Food insecurity and Food Costs in the United States in 2023. Feeding America National Organization. https://map.feedingamerica.org.

This Giving Day, we're closing that gap…making sure every Horizons student gets breakfast, lunch, and a snack, every day, all summer long.

A nutritious meal isn't just fuel. It's what makes a morning of swimming possible. It's what keeps a child in their seat, focused, and ready to learn. For our students, summer meals aren't a bonus… they're the foundation everything else is built on.

This summer, that means 12,600 meals (breakfasts, lunches, and snacks), creating a real financial need of almost $24,000 that the Horizons program cannot meet without your help. 

Recent Activity

This summer, 150 local girls need your help!

Every summer, Horizons at The Ethel Walker School gives students a place to learn, grow, and thrive. But for many of our students, summer brings something else too: the loss of the reliable, nutritious meals they count on during the school year.

All 150 of our Horizons students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. When the school year ends, that safety net disappears.
