TCFA has teamed up with Snack Pak 4 Kids (SP4K) to ensure that beef is provided in weekend snack packs for children at risk of hunger in the Texas Panhandle. Knowing the importance of beef in a child’s diet, TCFA members have rallied to make sure kids who face the possibility of missing meals over the weekend have access to a high quality beef product as an excellent protein source.
Snack Pak 4 Kids began with the mission of ending weekend hunger for children by providing a backpack filled with kid-friendly snacks each Friday of the school year. The program began in September 2010 serving 10 children in Amarillo and has grown to now serve approximately 7,000 students in many school districts across the Texas Panhandle and South Plains with a franchise in San Antonio.
Snack Pak 4 Kids hopes to activate this program to every community in the Texas Panhandle. To learn more about Snack Pak 4 Kids, please visit www.snackpak4kids.org or contact the TCFA office at (806) 358-3681.
