What We Do

We partner with Coweta school counselors to identify children that are at risk of not having enough food or other needs that we might be able to assist with.

Then throughout the school year, we prepare a weekly snack package for the identified kids to take home on Fridays for the weekend to help them through until they return to normal school lunches during the week.

During this troubled economic time, both the number of kids in need and the cost of preparing these packages has greatly increased.

The price per package has risen to over $3.80 per package for more than 258 children costing more than $950 per week. Both the number of kids and the cost of snack packages are expected to rise even more throughout this current school year.

Because of these dramatic increases, we are reaching out to ask for help from the community to help fund this important ministry.

All donations are spent directly for goods to bless the children, all involved in this ministry are unpaid volunteers.  So, 100% of every dollar is used on purchasing goods for the children.

Donations can be made through clicking on the DONATE button on this website or can be mailed in.

If you prefer to bring items for bagging instead of a monetary donation, please deliver to the above address on Sunday mornings.  We will use those items that day to fill bags for that week.  Please refrain from any nuts or peanut butter items.  We prefer, chips or Cheez-its, granola bars or similar, applesauce, pudding packs like the Snack Pack,  Capri-Sun or Kool-Aid drinks pouches or similar, any ramen noodles, and  items like Motts flavored snacks.
