Fighting Child Hunger
The Central Okanagan Food Bank provides food assistance to over 7,000 individuals each month, 36% of whom are children and youth. As one of the most vulnerable populations, supporting children and youth in our community remains one of our highest priorities. Our Snack Pack Program is here to ensure children between the ages of 1 and 15 receive a delightful and nutritious selection of snacks to keep them energized and satisfied during the school day. We understand the importance of providing healthy options for our community’s young ones, and that’s why our snack packs are thoughtfully curated to promote their well-being.
Each Snack Pack contains a variety of tasty treats designed to appeal to children while maintaining a focus on low-sugar, high-nutrition options. Within the bag, each child will find a selection of low-sugar granola bars, fresh and dried fruits, fruit juice, yogurt, and cheese strings, among other nutritious goodies. Our aim is to support each family’s health and ensure children have the sustenance they need to thrive.
We believe that every child deserves access to nutritious and wholesome snacks that support their growth and development. We have been tirelessly working towards nourishing our community’s children for several years, but we cannot do it alone. We rely on the generosity of compassionate individuals like you to keep this vital program running.
Our dedication to the health of our community’s children doesn’t stop there! In addition to the Snack Packs, we supply families with milk and eggs from our vitality program, ensuring that families have access to essential dairy and protein sources. By donating to the Snack Pack Program, you contribute directly to the well-being of children in our community.
