The Difference You Make: Santa Barbara Style

With your help, No Kid Hungry and our community partners in Santa Barbara, California, launched the seventh annual "Summer Meal Concert Series" in support of our summer meals initiative.

No Kid Hungry's national spokesperson, Jeff Bridges, is a driving force behind the music-and-food model. The summer-long events include live music and delicious meals featuring produce donated by local farmers. This fun spin on a traditional summer meals site aims to let kids experience the carefree summer joy that every child deserves.
