ABOUT US
Beginnings
Food for Kidz is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Stewart, MN that is dedicated to feeding nutritious meals to hungry children and their families.
Cal and Gayle Holm brought the charity activity, Food For Kidz, to Trilogy in 2006. Since then, volunteer participation has grown to 500+ volunteers.
Trilogy at Vistancia's volunteer team, Wings at Work, hosts a series of events and fundraisers to benefit the work of Food for Kidz. Each year, our efforts culminate in the annual Packing Day, where tens of thousands of meals are prepared. Half of the meals are distributed in the Phoenix area to feed our neighbors in need. The other half are sent to Minnesota to be distributed to areas of need in the United States and internationally. In 2017, Food for Kidz sent truckloads of meals to areas in Texas and Florida that were hard hit by hurricanes.
