Our Kid Friendly Power Pack Meals Bridge the
68 Hour Weekend Hunger Gap

In sunny South Florida, a region best known for its wealth, renowned dining, and picture-perfect beaches, 2,935,330 people are facing hunger – and of them, a staggering 819,940 are children.

Despite having access to free or reduced-price meals at school, these kids face hunger over the weekend and during summer break when school meals are not available to them. At Feeding Dreams, we combat this urgent need by delivering weekend backpack meals, also known as Power Packs, to kids throughout the state.

Our kid friendly Power Pack meals contain healthy, nutritious food, bridging the 68 hour weekend hunger gap from Friday afternoon until Monday morning.

A hungry child is in no shape to concentrate, socialize, or function optimally. Power Pack meals ensure that kids not only have their basic nutritional needs met but also have the energy and focus to succeed in school.
