What we offer
A GLANCE INTO THE SOUTH END CHILDREN'S CAFE
In addition to being a feeding program 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 as diverse of a selection of programs, in order 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, nurturing relationships with peers and adults by sharing food, stories, and laughs around the table.
Academic Support
Monday through Friday after school, enrolled 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 for our children including ballet class, music, dance, athletics, and more all free of charge to our children. The South End Children’s Cafe also has many community partners and resources that are available to our children and their families.
