CFA's Weekend Snack Pack Program on Neighborhood Journal Extra (Summer 2010)

Brian Stewart reports on the Weekend Snack Pack Program for Cablevision's Neighborhood Journal

---

Many children who receive free or reduced priced school meals are left without adequate nutrition on the weekend and holiday breaks.

The Center for Food Action's Weekend Snack Pack Program (WSPP) is designed to fill this gap by providing healthy, kid-friendly, and easy to prepare snack foods to children at risk of hunger. The sealed snack packs will be discreetly distributed by the teachers one weekend a month.

By hosting a WSPP food drive and/or collecting WSPP funds, you will help CFA increase the number of weekends that healthy snacks will be sent home, as well as expand the number of schools that participate in this important program to help the children in Bergen County who are at risk of hunger.
