Snack Sacs
The United Way of St. Mary's County is excited announce a new partnership with the Southern Maryland Food Bank. Our organizations will be working together on a project called "Snack Sacs". This is a nutritioinal project to help fill the gap of hunger for children in Southern Maryland. St. Mary's County United Way and The Southern Maryland Food Bank are committed to easing the pain of hunger in Southern Maryland. The mission of the Sanck Sac Project is to fill the gap of hunger during the weekends, when other resources like free or reduced breakfast and lunch programs are not available. We provide back packs filled with ready to eat, kid friendly, nutritious snacks in an unmarked back pack. All back packs are descreetly distributed by school staff, to keep the identity of those being served private. Back packs are delivered weekly to the school and handed out on the last day before a weekend or before a holiday.
With full or partial sponsorships, we will ease the pain of hunger and remove the fear of food insecurity!
