The Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico food program has managed to distribute almost half a million plates of meals since its creation in 2019. This program guarantees food for over 12,000 children and youth that we impact annually through our 11 service centers from Mayaguez to Vieques. Through this program we ensure that participants have access to nutritious and balanced meals that help them focus on their education and personal development.
In Puerto Rico, thousands of children and youths, 6 out of 10, face daily challenges due to the child poverty in which they find themselves submerged, including the lack of access to adequate food.
Through our meal program, we ensure that participants have access to nutritious and balanced meals, helping them focus on their education and personal development. Funds raised will help us expand and strengthen the food program to serve more participants, reach the communities we serve, and beyond. In addition to providing meals throughout the year, including during the summer.
Our food program wants to guarantee that no child or youth from our service centers goes hungry and can continue playing while learning.
