Home :: Kids In Need Distributors (KIND), Montegomery county, MD

Most residents of Montgomery County, Maryland, one of the wealthiest counties in the nation, are unaware that 44,000 of the county's children are part of the Free and Reduced Meal Program (FARM) - a program they qualify for based on household income.

33% of all Montgomery County Students are part of the Free and Reduced Meal Program.

Five days a week these children are provided free to low cost lunches; however, a child’s basic needs don't only exist Monday through Friday.

Through partnerships, sponsorships, and individual donations, KIND is

continually getting closer to its vision of creating a nourishing environment for all of Montgomery County's children all the time.
