Kids' Meals’ mission is to end hunger among preschool-aged children by delivering free, healthy meals to the doorsteps of poverty-stricken children aged five and under. Though there are many other agencies addressing food insecurity in children, preschool-aged kids often fall through the gap. These social service programs may ensure that older children receive free lunch at school, but hunger also plagues young children not yet enrolled in school —the children we serve. Kids’ Meals is the only “meals-on-wheels” program in the nation serving impoverished preschool-aged children.

Our forte involves very selective genres of adventure travel including: fly-fishing, wing shooting, and family adventure travel throughout the world. When you explore our website, you will notice that we do not represent hundreds of lodges. Personalized, hands-on service requires intimate familiarity with the lodge and the customer, which becomes our most important mission. For this same reason, we are able to create lasting relationships with our customers. We want you to become a member of our family and that can only be achieved by the satisfaction you derive from our custom excursions. At SWA, nothing is canned. We do not just go through the motions – we go over every detail and make recommendations to ensure each trip will become the adventure of your lifetime.http://www.sweetwatersadventure.com
