KRC's goal is to help refugee teens overcome the barriers that prevent them from completing their education. One of the greatest challenges is food insecurity, as many students are expected to work to support themselves or their families. By funding free lunches for our students, you are helping ensure that refugee teens can attend school consistently, dedicate themselves to learning, and take a critical step toward earning their secondary diplomas.

KRC's school lunch program addresses one of the hidden barriers preventing refugee teens from completing their education: food insecurity. By providing a free, nutritious lunch every day, we help remove the pressure students face to work instead of study.

Your support ensures that refugee teens have the stability they need to continue their studies.
By removing barriers that prevent refugee teens from staying in school, KRC's lunch program helps students remain on track to earn their secondary diplomas. Education opens doors to higher education and employment, creating pathways toward stability. As students gain qualifications, they are better equipped to support their families and contribute to their communities. Over time, investing in refugee education helps strengthen a generation of leaders who can bring hope to their community.
