Project Title: Expanding Access to Free Meals and Youth Development Programming for Underserved Children
Project Description:

Reconstructing Youth Foundation (RYF) is a Georgia-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to supporting children and youth through free meal access, academic support, after-school and summer programming, and community-based enrichment. We currently partner with over 21 schools across multiple counties in Georgia Many of whom come from low-income and underserved communities.

Through our work, we see firsthand how food insecurity, limited access to academic resources, poor nutrition, and the lack of safety and structured environments outside of school hours affect students. For some, the meal they receive through our program is one of the most consistent parts of their day. We regularly encounter students who rely on our program not just for academic support, but for encouragement, stability, and a sense that someone is showing up for them.

RYF’s program is designed to meet these needs in a consistent and meaningful way. In addition to providing free meals, we incorporate basic nutrition awareness and healthy habits into our programming to help students better understand the importance of fueling their bodies and maintaining overall wellness. Students also receive academic assistance, enrichment activities, and opportunities to build confidence and life skills.

Funding will help us continue and expand this work by covering the cost of meals, educational materials, program supplies, and transportation. This support allows us to reach more students and ensure that those we serve have access to the resources, support, and consistency they need every day.

Total Project Budget: $50,000
