/EIN News/ -- Dallas, TX, March 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) is excited to announce the return of its third annual summer Kids Day Camp for children ages 8-11.

During the camp, participants will participate in interactive activities designed to foster empathy, learning, and action regarding hunger in their communities. Campers will get a unique behind-the-scenes tour of the NTFB’s Perot Family Campus, where they’ll engage in fun and educational experiences related to food, gardening, and nutrition. They will also participate in a hands-on volunteer project, helping to pack food kits for local families facing hunger.

There are seven weekly sessions available for registration:

"At the North Texas Food Bank, we believe that addressing hunger requires the involvement of everyone, including the next generation," said Cassie Collins, Director of Community Engagement for NTFB. "Kids Camp is a wonderful way to start building a future of hunger warriors ready to make a difference."

The $30 registration fee per child helps provide 90 nutritious meals to children in North Texas experiencing hunger. While a snack will be provided, campers are asked to bring their own lunch. Children may only attend one session during the summer, and each session is limited to 25 spots. Families registering more than one child should complete a separate form for each participant.
