After thieves stole copper and equipment from a non-profit that typically provides meals for hundreds of Dallas ISD students, the community is coming together to keep kids fed at summer camps. At the same time, there is still a race to get the copper needed to restore service at Hunger Busters.
After thieves stole copper and equipment from a non-profit that typically provides meals for hundreds of Dallas ISD students, the community is coming together to keep kids fed at summer camps.
Natalia Villa and Gracie Phillips are among dozens of kids enjoying summer camp this year at the Trinity River Audubon Center. "We were knee deep in camp preps, lesson plans materials, was watching the news," she said.Hunger Busters prepares meals for thousands of Dallas ISD kids who would otherwise go hungry. But the operation is now on hold after tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment and copper was stolen over the weekend.
"I saw their building had been burglarized and affected their ability to store food," she said. "I thought, ‘I think this will impact camp. What will we do?’" "We have a kitchen where we make lots of meals, we could make kid-friendly lunches," said Chris Culak with the VNA."What we normally serve seniors, kids would probably not want," Culak said. "So we tried to make them kid-friendly, sandwiches, chips, fruit cups, cookies and milk."
