The Chazon organization in Molo currently serves over 500 kids
offering an education and daily meals. Meals received at Chazon are
often the only food the kids get. There is a particular population of
students at Chazon at great risk. These students come from the most
impoverished backgrounds and in some cases end up living on the
streets.
