A summer lunch program dedicated to feeding children in the Grapevine-Colleyville ISD area since 2005.
Volunteer
Over 30,000 lunches are distributed each summer to kids who normally rely on a school lunch program for their mid-day meal.
Kids enjoy fun games and activities with volunteer groups who help nourish their minds and their bodies.
This program is largely funded and operated by the generous local businesses and organizations.
Any student needing a nutritious lunch is welcome. Located at the GRACE Main Office and other sites throughout GCISD, Feed Our Kids starts the Tuesday after the last day of school and continues through the Friday before the week school starts. Schedule and locations for the 2025-2026 school year to be announced.
Volunteers are not only welcome, but essential for this program to succeed! Feed Our Kids is sponsored and operated by businesses and organizations who adopt a site location for one or more days. If your group is interested in serving through this fun program, contact the Volunteer & Seasonal Program Coordinator at volunteer@GRACEGrapevine.org or 817.305.4647.

Feed Our Kids starts the Tuesday after the last day of school and continues through the Friday before the week that school starts.
Typically, groups spend approximately $150 each day of service. However, a loaf of bread and peanut butter & jelly sandwich is fine, too! GRACE usually can provide chips, fruit snacks, cookies, and other items to add to the lunches.
The number varies each week, and more children are served at some locations compared to others. We will keep track of numbers as the summer progresses and provide updates, so everyone has the most current, accurate information.
We have found that most groups only need 10-15 volunteers each day. Duties can be divided in a number of ways - a preparation team, a serving team or everyone doing both. You would be surprised at how quickly the lunches can be assembled.
Serving at each site is weekdays 11:45am to 12:45pm.
Some groups only serve lunches, while others bring along child appropriate games, crafts, books, and music to interact with the kids. This decision is completely up to you and your volunteers.
Of course! We have had many creative lunches in the past, including hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken fingers, pizza, tacos, and BBQ.
Completely understandable, especially if it’s your first time. A staff member or seasoned volunteer can meet your group and show you the ropes.
