What an incredible morning with our ANNA #204 Gulf Coast Chapter at Kids’ Meals Inc.!

We were also thrilled to present a $1,000 grant directly to the Kids’ Meals team—represented by Erinn Horton (Senior Director of Volunteer Engagement), Christen Blackledge (Director of Corporate Partnerships & Special Events), and Nathaniel Flores (Manager of Volunteer Experience).
Our chapter earned this check through the ANNA National "Feed Your Kidneys" initiative, which awards funding to local chapters to support food banks in their communities.

A huge thank you to:
ANNA National for creating the "Feed Your Kidneys" initiative and empowering our chapter to give back locally.

Kids’ Meals Inc.—especially Erinn, Christen, and Nathaniel—for hosting us and for your tireless mission to end childhood hunger.
