Feed Lucas County Children, Inc. (FLCC), founded in 2002, combats child hunger in Lucas County. They are neither a food bank nor a food pantry; rather, we actually prepare meals for children. FLCC offers free, hot balanced meals seven days a week to children whose family income falls below the poverty level. Funding comes from private donors, businesses, grants, churches, and federal money. They are the umbrella to over 80 agencies in Lucas County for food. The addition of educational components enhances each site's success. Their meals provide a base for successful tutoring programs.

2010 –2011, 392,472 meals served at 105 sites (24) Schools, (7) Community Centers, (22) Parks, (23) Non-profit organizations and (29) Churches.
