The weekend SnackPack program serves elementary school children in Anderson County. Through United Way, over 700 children receive SnackPacks each weekend - that about 100,000 meals each year!  Many children in Anderson County schools are at risk for hunger on the weekends.  Monday through Friday during the school year these students get their breakfast and lunch at school but, once the weekend comes, they may not see another meal until Monday morning.  Each week we pack for the children!  Will you help?

Poverty is a reality for many individuals and families. But unless you’ve experienced poverty, it’s difficult to truly understand. The Community Action Poverty Simulation (CAPS) bridges that gap from misconception to understanding. CAPS is an interactive immersion experience. It sensitizes community participants to the realities of poverty.  Will you help us to promote poverty awareness, increase understanding, inspire local change, transform perspectives?
