MARINE CORPS LEAGUE TO THE RESCUE (Again) !!
We would like to send a big THANK YOU to the Marine Corps League for their continued support. Snack in a Backpack is growing and the Marines have been busy renovating our new Snack Bay. The new area will allow us to expand our packing facility and streamline distribution for the upcoming Summer Meal program. We will be packing and distributing approximately 800 bags a week over the school summer vacation period.
A Message From The Executive Director
100,000 Meals provided in 2020 because of YOU!
We provided over 100,000 meals to children in need during the Snack in a Backpack school year program and the Summer Meals Program in conjunction with many churches and community non-profit organizations. Thank you again, for standing shoulder to shoulder with Snack in a Backpack to reduce childhood hunger in Fannin County. Whether you contribute and/or volunteer with the program or pray for the children in need, we appreciate your support.
