What we offer
A GLANCE INTO THE SOUTH END CHILDREN'S CAFE
In addition to serving free healthy meals, the South End Children’s Cafe values the academic and artistic enrichment of our children. During the week, the South End Children’s Cafe offers a variety of enrichment programs for our children. We aim to provide a diverse selection of programs to nurture every child’s creativity and interests.
Daily Dinner
Monday through Friday our children, staff, and volunteers sit down and share a meal together. Family members are encouraged to join and/or take food home. All meals are balanced, nutritious, and prepared from scratch with fresh and often, local ingredients. Children build positive and nurturing relationships with peers and adults by sharing food, stories, and laughs around the table.
Academic Support
After school, children begin with a 1:1 reading or homework help session with a community volunteer or staff tutor.
Enrichment and recreation
We offer a variety of programs that are free of charge which include ballet, music, dance, and athletics. The South End Children's Cafe also has many community partners and resources that are available to our children and their families.
