Build Hi-Five Snack Packs for Kids
One in four children in Florida is food-insecure.
The Hi-Five Kids Pack program was started in 2006 to support the educators that came to Second Harvest looking for a solution to students that were coming to school sick and unable to learn on Monday because they had not eaten since their school lunch the previous Friday.
During Saturday and Sunday at FREEFLO we will be putting together Hi-Five Kids Packs. All supplies will be provided. Project benefits Second Harvest’s program in local elementary schools.
Second Harvest Food Bank partners with elementary schools that have a significant percentage of student participation in free and reduced lunch programs. In 2018, 20,718 weekend food packs were provided to children at Central Florida elementary schools. The food packs contain a variety of kid-friendly items such as cereal, shelf-stable milk and juice, fruit cups and more.
Since 2006, more than 314,700 packs have been distributed – the equivalent of 944,244 meals. The Hi-Five Kids Pack Program has been made possible by funding from generous sponsors and individuals and organizations who help assemble and distribute the packs. This is making a difference for families in Central Florida!
Materials supplied through the Second Harvest Food Bank. Through donations and grants this project will be a part of FREEFLO. Attendees will be putting the packs together with supplies.
