Hunger Doesn’t Take The Weekends Off
Snacks In A Sack is a results oriented program. This unique program is designed to feed elementary school children whose families qualify for the federal Free and Reduced Price Meal program, and have little to no food on the weekends. Better test scores, improved reading skills, positive behavior, improved health and increased attendance have all been attributed to the success of this program.
$80 feeds a child in the program for an entire school year. Following a donation, a school is chosen and a local grocer partners with the program to provide food for meals in the backpacks. Every Friday, students receive their backpacks with staples that require little to no preparation. They return with their backpacks on Monday ready to learn.

WE SUPPORT THESE SCHOOLS
We have more than 21 Title 1 schools in Lake County. A Title 1 school means that more than 40% percent of the children who attend that school are on free or reduced cost lunch. Sometimes the only food that these kids eat is what they eat when they are at school.
