Pack-a-Snack is a hands-on way to provide food for hungry kids. Each week of the school year, volunteers gather at 4:45 on Wednesdays at First United Methodist of Pell City to pack healthy snacks for elementary kids at risk as well as their at-home siblings. We currently deliver to three area schools so three volunteers also give of their time and mileage to take the bagged snacks to the schools. Each bag is delivered to the home room for teachers to place snacks packed in paper bags in students’ backpacks or cubbies. These children are identified as those already receiving meal assistance. It costs $31,200 a year to provide this much-needed healthy snack for children in the Pell City area.
