The mission of the South End Children's Cafe is to impact food security, address food equity and food justice, enhance academic success, and positively influence the physical and mental health of children by offering free healthy meals along with homework help, academic enrichment, mentoring, exercise, and the arts.
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.
