We're Working to Eliminate Food Insecurity.  You Can Help.

1 in 4 children in Kent County faces hunger and poverty every day.  Over 4,500 children and adults come to SECOM each year, seeking help and hope.  

By donating food or personal care items or coordinating a food drive, you can make a difference for these families in need.  Contact Chelsea by email for more information.
