In Jenkins County, more than 1 in 4 children face food insecurity.

During the summer months, when school cafeterias close, many families lose access to a reliable source of daily meals. That’s why ECS4Kids is proud to serve as a distribution hub for Golden Harvest Food Bank, helping bring nutritious food directly to the families who need it most.

The need was evident on day one. More than 150 vehicles came through the distribution, and over 15,000 pounds of food were provided to local families. Thanks to the incredible support of student volunteers from Jenkins County High School’s JROTC, trunks, backseats, and even golf carts were filled with nutritious food destined for homes throughout the community.

Together with Golden Harvest, volunteers, and community partners, we’re helping ensure children and families have access to the nourishment they need all summer long.
