There is more to Feeding hungry minds and bodies® than providing nutritional meals and educational
activities. There is providing children the opportunities to be inspired and participate in activities they may
not otherwise experience. Afterschool Nutrition &
Education, working with its AmeriCorps
volunteers, partnering agencies and corporate sponsors, strives to create opportunities for children to expand
their horizons. A few of these special events are:
 Afterschool
Holiday Party:
Each December, children in Afterschool Nutrition & Education programs are invited to a terrific destination
for a holiday party. The festivities are held in the evening so the children (and adults) can enjoy holiday activities.
With Children's Hunger Alliance staff and the many corporate volunteers, the children receive quality, adult interaction
and participate in holiday themed activities such as decorating holiday cookies, face painting, and crafts. After
a hot meal and a visit from Santa Claus, each child also receives a gift for the holiday season.
Summer Field Days:
Annual event held each summer to recognizes the work afterschool
programs perform in our community. Children from afterschool sites from around Central Ohio who participate
in the USDA meal program
are brought together to meet and interact with youth from other programs from the Columbus area.
