What it reported doing in 2025
Small Miracles feed hungry kids while building relationships with families tobuild a stronger and healthier community. First AccomplishmentSmall Miracles was established in 2011 and is a locally run non-profit. Themission of Small Miracles is to ensure that no child goes hungry in our communityby providing resources and awareness throughout the year. Small Miracles currently provide a yearly 10 week summer lunch program campaignduring the summer at over 15 servings sites throughout Wenatchee, East Wenatchee, Rock Island and Cashmere encompassing three school districts. Small Miracles has served over 23,000 lunches to date. Many children are at riskof not having enough to eat at home or just going without during the summer whenschool is not in session. Small Miracles fill that gap and is committed toextending the campaign to offer more lunches at additional servings sites andadding additional opportunity during other school breaks. Small Miracles depends on the entire community for donations to fund the non foodportion of the program and for volunteers to serve the kids Monday throughThursday during the summer. Over 350 volunteers help serve the children. Thesummer lunch program follows the strict guidelines from the USDA and the localhealth department. Parents are invited at the end of the summer to attend a life skills workshop opportunity around Thanksgiving which allows them to attend 2 one hour classes onhousehold budgeting, car maintenance and cooking on a budget to name a few. Theythen receive a $100 gift card that they many use to purchase gifts for theirchildren. For more information go to smallmiracles.org.
