Join Eat. Learn. Play. in Feeding Oakland Kids This Summer

Summer should be a time of joy, play, and discovery—not hunger. Unfortunately, this summer thousands of kids are at risk of going without the meals they count on when school is out.

That’s why Eat. Learn. Play. is stepping up—and we need your help.

We’re launching an emergency response to close the summer meals gap and deliver 1,200 meals daily at more than 20 locations in Oakland throughout the summer. Starting June 2nd, these meals will be a lifeline for kids and families struggling with food insecurity.

This is a critical need that requires an ambitious response, but helping out in challenging times is what Eat. Learn. Play. was created to do. From providing millions of meals to families during COVID-19 to providing students with access to clean and safe drinking water, our ability to respond only happens with your support.

The good news is that your support can go even further. Thanks to a generous match from one of our friends, every dollar you give will be doubled, up to $100,000.

Stephen and Ayesha cover all fundraising and operating expenses, which means 100% of your gift today goes directly towards fighting hunger in Oakland.

Summer is almost here, and the need is urgent, but together, we can make sure no child goes hungry this summer.

Every gift matters. Whether it’s $5 or $500, your support will help fill plates—and hearts—across Oakland.
