Cape Cod Children's Place

This spring, starting Monday, April 13th
FIRST Steps Together is creating more space for
connection.
At Cape Cod Children’s Place, we’re offering multiple opportunities each week for our
community to come together around parenting, recovery, healing, and support.
We believe that when people feel seen, supported, and connected—real change becomes
possible.
If you’re in need of care, community, or simply a place to land... you are always welcome
here.

Cape Kids Meals-Weekend Meal Program

How it Works:
  1. Schools work with families to determine participation.
  2. Shelf stable food is purchased from the Greater Boston Food Band and other retail stores.
  3. Bags are packed weekly at one of Cape Kid Meals packing centers.
  4. CKM provides a bag filled with easy to prepare meals and snacks to help last them through the weekend. 
  5. Bags are delivered to the schools each week.
  6. Bags are placed discreetly into a child’s backpack by school personnel before dismissal.
  7. The entire program is confidential-only the schools know who is participating.
