Powerpack

The Powerpack Program provides a weekend bag of breakfast items, individual meals and snacks for school age children (K-12) to those students facing food insecurities at home.  Each school has their own policy of how the packs are delivered. The concept is the packs should be handed out confidentially such that the privacy of each student is respected. Additional food or bags are distributed for school holidays. This program runs during the school year from September to end of May. Please help support Powerpack. All donated money goes towards food for the packs for the children.

Some testimonies received anonomously:

 

 

• Power packs help me a lot on those days that my family can’t afford food. My Dad has cancer and we spend a lot of money on medical bills and so our budget on food is about 30 dollars. Powerpacks give me and other people food and hope: it shows people are looking out for me.
• Power packs are so important and so needed. They save so much time in my house. There are times that we can’t have food or snack money. It’s really hard having to recover from money problems and this helps so much. I would be so heart broken if they were canceled. I would never be able to have good times on weekends because food is important and everyone needs it.
• Powerpacks mean a lot to me. Me and my family don’t have much money. So when I get Power packs we get snacks, good snacks that is and my family gets to eat. I would be very disappointed if we weren’t able to get the Powerpacks. They help me and my family by eating more amounts of food for a very large family. I hope we get to keep getting Powerpacks because they really do mean a lot to me and my family

• Powerpack have definitely changed my life. I’m so glad to be a part of the program because when I have no food at home, I can always go to my collection of Ramen noodles and make a pack or 2 so I won’t be hungry. I also really enjoy the healthy snacks they pack for us. Like as an athlete I really need that so thank you so much and I also feel like Powerpacks are definitely needed because not everyone gets fed at home properly so yeah, I love Powerpacks!
