Community Impact

Many children rely on free and reduced-price meals at school. A Power Pack, which contains seven meals, helps alleviate hunger for local children in need over the weekend. Last year, we amassed over 3,000 participants, packing and donating over 187,000 meals. This year, we aim to raise $60,000 to fund over 72,000 meals for hungry children.
