Snack in a Pack is an AmeriCorps program that provides supplemental food packs to about 675 Waynesville R-VI School District students who might otherwise go hungry over the weekend. It costs approximately $5 to feed one student for one weekend.
The program relies on the generosity of its partners, donors, and community volunteers to continue its mission to feed hungry children and improve educational success.
