Snacks for Students
Snacks for Students (SFS) was launched in early 2023 after we learned that many students arrive at school daily without a midday snack. No Kids Hungry estimates that teachers often spend up to 300 dollars yearly providing snacks for students. Research shows that children find it harder to focus and learn when they are hungry. Because healthy snacks fuel a student's mind for the day, SFS provides public elementary schools with healthy nut-free snacks for food-insecure students. Our SFS team scours through thousands of recovered and donated snacks to locate NUT-FREE, HEALTHY, and NON-PERISHABLE items, which we deliver directly to the schools we have partnerships with. Students “grab and go” anonymously, removing the stigma of food assistance.
