Ending Childhood Hunger in Pasco County — One Weekend at a Time

Pack-A-Sack Food 4 Kids is One Community Now’s flagship childhood hunger relief program, providing nutritious weekend food packs to more than 1,600 children every single weekend across 36 Pasco County schools. These are children who rely on school meals during the week — and without Pack-A-Sack, many would go hungry from Friday afternoon to Monday morning.

Hunger doesn’t take the weekend off. And neither do we.

Each week, students discreetly receive a backpack filled with child-friendly, balanced meals and snacks to sustain them until they return to school. This ensures children can focus on being kids — not worrying about where their next meal will come from.

What Makes Pack-A-Sack Different

• Direct School Partnerships: We work hand-in-hand with Pasco County schools to identify children who need support most.
• 22 Active Community Partners: Local churches, businesses, civic groups, and volunteers power this program, allowing us to expand impact without duplicating services.
• Consistent Weekly Delivery: This is not an occasional food drop — it is a reliable, ongoing lifeline.
• Emergency & Summer Support: When school is out, we step in so hunger doesn’t return.
• Prevention-Focused: We stop hunger before it turns into crisis.

Pack-A-Sack is not just a food program — it is an investment in a child’s health, learning, confidence, and future.
