Our Impact

In 2024, we served 53,000 meals to children across Dubuque, ensuring no child goes hungry.

Providing Healthy Meals for Dubuque's Youth

 

The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Dubuque ensures children have access to nutritious meals. We operate under the USDA’s Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), providing free meals to at-risk youth.
