The Youth-N-Action Read & Feed Initiative is a program that combines literacy support with providing healthy meals and snacks to children. This program involves access to books and nutritious snacks and meals, aiming to promote literacy skills and foster a love for reading, alongside addressing nutritional needs. This program targets children from underserved communities who may have limited access to food and nutritious meals outside of school hours. Sustainability and reliability are key factors in this program as well.
