Frisco Lovepacs.

Weekend hunger is the part nobody talks about. Every Friday during the school year, we send 156+ families home with meals to get them to Monday.

The problem

School lunch covers Monday through Friday.

For many students, school is where they reliably eat. That means Friday afternoon is the start of a long, hungry weekend. Our pack program closes that gap.

How a pack gets to a family.

Monday

School counselors flag need

Counselors identify families confidentially. We never see names.

Wednesday

Volunteers pack

Shelf-stable meals, fruit, a treat. Two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners.

Friday

Quiet hand-off

Packs go home in student backpacks. No assembly, no spotlight.
