“Feeding at-risk children and enriching lives”

WAI SFEP 2011 childrenEvery summer, thousands of children are out of school. Perhaps the children you know are out playing, going on picnics, taking vacations, or just relaxing before another year of school begins.

But, did you know many children, right here in Cincinnati, face a greater challenge than how to have fun on those long summer days? Some children don't know where their next meal will come from, or if they'll have a meal on any given day. Many of these children receive free or reduced price meals during the school year. Access to these same meals and summer learning opportunities, is greatly reduced during the summer months. The negative impact that this has on their health, mental and cognitive capacity is severe.

That's why WAI, Whole Again International is here to help!

Our Vision:

little boyTo see faith-based organizations engaged in the community to make children and families whole again.

Our Mission:

Whole Again International partners with faith-based organizations to provide meals, educational and recreational enrichment programming for at risk youth to assist them in developing a healthy mind, body and spirit.
This mission is an expression of WAI’s stated vision.
