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 at several local schools. In Georgia, one in six children goes to bed hungry; and children are most vulnerable on the weekends without access to free breakfasts and lunches at school. This year, Snack will:
serve approximately 650 children a week including students at Hope-Hill, Mclendon, Bethune, and Woodward elementary schools as well as students and refugee families at the Global Village Project and in Clarkston.
distribute more than 20,000 bags of food and receive more than 100,000 lbs of free or sharply discounted food from the Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB), the Produce Buyers Club (PBC), and Second Helpings (SH).
include fresh fruit and vegetables in the bags for each child and refugee family.
engage volunteers of all ages from Glenn, Emory, Druid Hills HS, Midtown HS, and the local community to set-up, recycle, pack, and load bags into vehicles on Wednesday evenings, Thursdays and Friday mornings; make school deliveries and count inventory on Fridays; place orders with ACFB, PBC, and SH; develop weekly packing plans; unload deliveries; shop at farmers markets, orchards, and closeout centers, and much more!
In addition, we are engaged in active partnerships with Toco Hills Community Alliance and Columbia Drive Food Pantry. To volunteer or for questions, contact SnackatGlenn@gmail.com.
