Glenn Snack in a Backpack
Glenn’s Snack in a Backpack ministry provides food on Fridays during the school year to children who are at risk of hunger on the weekends. In Georgia, one in 7 children go to bed hungry; and children are most vulnerable on the weekends without access to school meals. During the past year Snack has...
• served approximately 400 children a week including students at Hope-Hill, Perkerson and SL Lewis elementary schools as well as students at GVP (Global Village Project) and additional refugee children in the Clarkston area.
• distributed more than 16,000 bags of food and received more than 60,000 lbs of food from the Atlanta Community Food Bank
• included fresh fruit in the bags for each child
• engaged volunteers of all ages to set-up, recycle, pack and load bags into vehicles on Thursdays; make school deliveries on Fridays; place orders with the Food Bank; developed weekly packing plans; unloaded Food Bank deliveries on Thursday mornings; shopped at the DeKalb Farmers Market and grocery stores for fresh fruit, produce and other items unavailable at the Food Bank; monitored inventory; and much more!
