Kid Packs
Each week you help us assemble over 1400 packs for kids who face food insecurity in their homes each weekend. The packs contain seven specific items that are easy for children to cook and eat on their own. There are several ways to get involved with Kids Nutrition Packs: you can bring supplies for the project, preassemble packs, or donate money to support the program. Any contribution is greatly appreciated!
Here’s what goes in every Pack:
- Entrée: this can be any type of entrée, such as EasyMac™, a can of ravioli (as long as it’s a pull top), Cup Noodles™, or something similar. It needs to be microwaveable and easy for a kid to make.
- Juice: This can be any type of 100% juice in a sturdy container.
- Granola Bar: This can be a healthy granola, fiber, or protein bar.
- Dried Fruit: We’ll accept any type of dried fruit, including fruit leather and raisins. We would also accept a fruit and grain bar as well.
- Crackers: We’ll accept crackers and cheese dips, peanut butter crackers, or anything similar.
- Fruit Punch: Each item must be in a single service pouch or a metal pop-top container.
- Fruit Snacks: We’ll accept any brand of fruit snacks.
Be ensure to track the time spent on building these kits. You can drop off kits during our operating times!
