“You judge a house by its foundation and the foundation is our kids,” Coderre said.

He said his goal is to make sure every kid can eat breakfast in the morning.

“If I can make the difference for a couple of kids, then make their future change,” Kingsbury said.

“Make them believe that they can reach their goal and dreams, that’s why I’m here.”
