4 Kids and Community received a grant from the Central Community Foundation to help support their community dinners which serve an average of 300 meals to the Perkins-Tryon community each month. 

The nonprofit recently celebrated five years of serving free community suppers, where volunteers cook and serve nutritious meals. 4 Kids and Community relies on volunteers and donations to make these meals happen each month.

The Central Community Foundation provides grants through the Operation Round Up program at Central Rural Electric Cooperative. Members of CREC can round up their monthly electric bills to the nearest dollar to help organizations and residents in need throughout Central’s seven-county service area.
