One in five children in Coastal Georgia lives in a situation where having enough food to eat is not guaranteed. PACK is a 100% volunteer-run organization whose volunteers assemble and deliver 5,400 weekend meal bags each week to food-insecure children through 42 Chatham County schools and community centers. We also support over 1,000 vulnerable children each year through the PACK Cottage and PACK Boutique programs.
PACK the Stockings is a great introduction to volunteering for young children and families. Children may bring an unwrapped toy to donate and take a free picture with Santa. This fun, family-friendly event features volunteer opportunities for children like packing Christmas stockings for local children in need, decorating holiday cards, and making ornaments. The event also includes treats from Johnny Boy Cookies, the Kona Ice snow cone truck, and Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee. PACK the Stockings is a great way to help the community while making happy family memories.
Kids Feeding Kids is a fundraising campaign led by children. It is a wonderful opportunity for the parents to teach their children about helping others. Our goal this year is to raise at least $50,000 (feeding 250 children). Click here for more information.
Feed 5 & Feed 10 program
PACK’s Feed 5/10 program is one of our primary fundraising campaigns for small businesses, churches, and families. Every $200 donation allows us to feed a child with weekend meal bags for an entire year. Feed 5 corresponds to $1,000 annual donation and Feed 10 corresponds to $2,000 annual donation.
