Description
NutriPacks is an all volunteer, direct food distribution program for school district children whose families are food insecure. We realize that childhood hunger exists in our community and the need is growing. For some children who rely on school meals as a main source of nutrition, weekends, holidays and summer breaks can mean going hungry. We provide service to 13 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 2 high schools and three additional schools in the Central Dauphin School district area. The program is designed to reduce childhood hunger and help children lead healthier lives.
