PowerPak 4 Kids Back Pack Program

Our PowerPak program is one of the most effective options to address weekend hunger in children.  Nutritious and easy to prepare foods, including whole-grain cereals, trail mix, peanut butter, sunflower seeds, and fruit juices, are bagged and provided to children in need at school on Fridays so they can obtain necessary nutrients over the weekend and return to school on Monday, nourished and ready to learn. The program focuses on food-insecure children ages 3-15 years old and is coordinated by our Child Hunger department who secure, sort, and deliver the PowerPaks, work closely with the schools to identify and serve food-insecure children and manage a robust volunteer program that is full of dedicated community members who are passionate about PowerPak4Kids. Each year, we serve approximately 1700 children through our PowerPak 4 Kids program!
