Food Packs for Kids
Our Vision
Our vision is to provide high calorie meals to food insecure children in Hillsborough County. We are currently serving 655 children in 10 schools, a county led school program as well as a domestic violence shelter every week!
By request, over the summer of 2025 we continued to serve Pizzo, Witter and a local domestic violence shelter.
How you can help
Every week, we need enough food to feed 655 children. This costs about $3 per bag per child and takes A LOT of coordination to make sure that everything is packed and delivered.
Summer packing takes place on Wednesday evenings beginning at 5:30 pm at 9008 Harney Road.
Our Impact
Since restarting Food Packs for Kids with Mind Over Matter we have impacted the lives of hundreds of children. In September of 2024 we began with 1 school and 26 children. By then end of 2024 we were serving 500 children at 8 schools and a Domestic Violence Shelter.
As of April 1, 2025, we have added another county program making our total 655 bags per week.
We served 16,686 bags to students in the 2024/2025 school year!
