Thanks to the generosity of our Lunch Bell Partners — including a significant new commitment from Lewis & Keller — our Keep the Lunch Bell Ringing match has grown from $550,000 to $600,000!

For many children across Northwest North Carolina, summer isn't a break — it's when meals become uncertain. When the school year ends, so does the reliable nutrition that so many kids count on each day.

Now through July 31, every dollar you give is matched — doubling your impact to help fill that gap. Your support helps food reach families across our region, including rural communities where summer can bring real hardship.

Because every child deserves to thrive, no matter the season.

THANK YOU!
