Nearly a year after it began, the Kenwood Food Project has grown, expanding to help provide food from local restaurants and grocery stores to families at Bret Harte Elementary School and the Hyde Park Refugee Project.
The initiative started last March as a partnership with Kenwood Academy. Counselors there would identify students at risk of going hungry, and provide them with gift cards from the Kenwood Food Project to local restaurants like Pizza Capri and Cafe 53, as well as Hyde Park Produce and Food and Paper Supply Company.
