KidsPack

We believe nobody should go to bed hungry.

The KidsPack Program strives to alleviate childhood hunger by providing nutritionally balanced, kid-friendly foods to area elementary students every Friday during the school year.

KidsPack is offered and accessible to elementary school, middle school, and high school students regardless of income.  Providing this resource ensures that all kids have access to well-balanced weekend nourishment when school meals are not available, helping to stretch each family's food dollars.

KidsPack serves 33 schools in Gallatin, Madison, and Jefferson Counties averaging 750 or more bags per week.  

Throughout the week we pack shelf stable, kid-friendly foods into bags for distribution to participating elementary, middle, and high schools.  Bags are delivered to schools each week and discreetly distributed to participating children on Friday.
