Description
What can a community accomplish when it comes together?In the last 4 years, our community has donated nearly 40,000 pounds of food through 3 Cans & A Good Time. 
Think about that for a second.
Think about that for a second.That's thousands of meals. Thousands of moments where a child didn't have to wonder if there would be enough to eat.
With school starting the week of our event, Mission Southside's Back Snack Program will once again be packing food for more than 300 Olathe students every week who rely on those bags to get through the weekend.
Now it's our turn to help…
Our goal this weekend is 2,000 pounds of food, and we know we can get there, but only if our community shows up!
Join us for 3 Cans & A Good Time: American Summer on Saturday, August 15 at beautiful Castle On The Prairie. Enjoy a classic summer cookout, giveaways, and live music from Smokin' J's, all while making a real difference for local families.
Bring a few extra items. (Canned protein, ramen, granola bars, peanut butter…)
Invite your family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers.
Spend an evening celebrating what makes our community so special: neighbors helping neighbors.Together, let's make sure no child starts the school year hungry.
