We want your help! We will be working with a FACT staff member to put together FACT Packs.

Here in Central Minnesota, 1 in every 5 students do not know where their next meal will come from. Going hungry as a child causes an increased risk of learning and behavioral challenges. Feeding Area Children Together (FACT) is bridging the gap for students when school is not in session by providing FACT Packs. Distributed before weekends and breaks, these packs provide full meals and high quality snacks. 

There are a limited number of spots to sign up for this volunteer event! This event is also limited to adults, so please leave small children with a trusted care-giver. 

We expect the packing event to take around two hours. 

FACTS about FACT PACKS:

• FACT Packs are one-gallon zipper bags that contain a child-friendly, non-perishable breakfast, lunch and snack for each day school is not in session.
• Bags are packed by volunteers during pack sessions and delivered to schools. Each FACT Pack is discreetly placed in student backpacks by volunteers, teachers, and staff members on Fridays or the last day of school before break.
• Each menu contains a variety of fruits, vegetables, and proteins. It does not contain chips, cookies or candy. All the menus are peanut-safe and do not contain pork products.
• FACT Packs are provided to K-8 students free of charge at the schools they serve.
