Pack the Bag
Help Feed a Child. Nourish a Future.
No child should have to wonder where their next meal will come from. But right now, 15,099 children in East Tennessee rely on the Food for Kids Program to get through the weekends without hunger.
From February 10th-22nd, 2025, we’re rallying our community for Pack the Bag, a fundraiser dedicated to ensuring that these children receive a weekly bag full of nutritious, kid-friendly food—because no child should go to bed hungry.
Your gift makes an immediate impact:
🍎 $8 feeds a child for an entire month
🥪 $100 provides meals for a whole year

When children have access to consistent nutrition, they learn better, behave better, and thrive. Teachers tell us that students who receive food through the Food for Kids Program have more confidence, better focus, and improved well-being—all because they aren’t worried about their next meal.
These food bags, packed with fruits, dairy, vegetables, grains, and protein, give students the nourishment they need to grow, learn, and thrive. With full bellies, they can focus on being kids—excelling in school, building confidence, and dreaming of bright futures.
Teachers see the difference every day: better concentration, improved behavior, and growing self-esteem in children who receive these meals.
This is more than a meal—it’s hope, stability, and a lifeline for kids in need.
