Kids Cafes give children a free, hot meal in a safe, restaurant-like setting 
twice a week. Children sit at tables and are served by volunteer waiters. They may have as many helpings as they want. Each meal includes a nutrition lesson or activity. Mid-South Food Bank operates four Kids Cafes in Memphis and Sardis, Mississippi. Each program has a sponsor that covers the basic costs of the program. Current locations and sponsors:
- Buckman Kids Cafe at the Buckman Boys & Girls Club, sponsored by the John Dustin Buckman Foundation
