Kid-e-Cafe

Harvest Hope Food Bank

The Online Resource for Existing Kids Cafe® Programs 

Kids Cafe is a program of America's Second Harvest

Let’s keep your Kids Cafe going and growing!

As your sponsoring organization, Harvest Hope has a responsibility to support you and to make sure that children in your community are getting great Kids Cafe service. We designed this online resource to serve you better.

On the following pages you will find step-by-step guidelines for all required operating procedures. Please make sure that all of the staff and volunteers at your site are trained to follow these simple procedures. You will also find sample materials and other resources to help you grow your program. We encourage you to send us great ideas that have worked for your site. Even better, use the online director forum to share with all Harvest Hope Kids Cafes.

The Harvest Hope Kids Cafe Coordinator will visit your site at least 3 times per year. We always look forward to seeing all of the wonderful things our Kids Cafes are doing! We’ve included a copy of our site monitoring form so you’ll know exactly what we’re looking for when we come.

Finally, we have included information about our BackPack Program, a great program that enables you to provide backpacks packed with nutritious, child-friendly food for your children to take home over the weekends. Most Kids Cafe sites are eligible to add a BackPack Program.
