Close to 20% of children in St. Lucie County are what is known as food insecure. They could be homeless; their parents could be between jobs or ill. Whatever the reason, these children aren’t sure where their next meal is coming from, or if it will. Parents and guardians may apply for free and reduced school meals, but schools are only in session Monday through Friday. What, if anything, do food insecure children eat on the weekends?

At GraceWay Village, both staff and volunteers pitch in wherever they are needed to provide food, clothing and encouragement to local families in crisis. RUSTY DURHAM PHOTOS
