RACINE â Thirty percent of children that live in Racine are living in poverty.
To help combat childhood hunger, The Salvation Army of Racine and the Racine Police Department joined together in May 2019 to launch the Healthy Kids Diner.
The year-round program, typically held at Racine Community Oriented Policing Houses or COP houses, provides a nutritious dinner for any child in need. Meals, which include a protein, vegetable, fruit, grain and milk, are served Monday through Friday at the Mead Street Cop House, 1750 Mead St., from 3:15 to 3:45 p.m. and the Geneva Street Cop House, 1140 Geneva St., from 4 to 4:30 p.m.
