About A FULL SUMMER 2023 Snack Pack
For two hours, we’ll pack snacks for Second Harvest to deliver to agencies that serve food insecure children during the summer. Last year, A FULL SUMMER volunteers packed 7,000 snacks that were used at agencies such as Capital City Youth Services, Big Brother Big Sisters, Big Bend Homeless Coalition, and Good News Ministries. We can't wait to do it again!
Each year we welcome individuals and groups of businesses, churches, community groups, family, and groups of friends to form teams to pack together! In addition to packing snacks, funds raised by A FULL SUMMER supporters help sponsor nine Leon County School food pantries, underwrite the monitoring fees for the Hope 24/7 Food Locker located at Sabal Palm Elementary School, and furnish appliances to school pantries so that they may offer fresh or frozen meat, fruits, and vegetables to the children they serve. This year, we will help sponsor a ninth school pantry at Astoria Park Elementary.
Our fundraising goal this year is $40,000 to cover the snacks, helping to sponsor 9 school food pantries, and to cover the Hope 24/7 monitoring fee. We ask each volunteer working at the event to donate a minimum of $50 to cover the cost of the snacks we pack. Teams of 10 cost $500. And we appreciate donations of any amount to cover all the ways we help food insecure children.
Thank YOU! Together we are doing something to help food insecure children in our community.

A Full Summer Snack Pack EventOur snack packaging events bring together volunteers to donate time and money to package food for hungry and food insecure children in the Tallahassee and Big Bend area of Florida. Our snacks are nutritious and delicious. And each bag of snacks comes with a handwritten note of encouragement from our volunteers. Every year, volunteers have been able to provide food for thousands of children in our community.

Food Pantries SponsorshipsDid you know that 40% of children who attend Leon County Schools qualify for free or reduced- price meals? For many of these kids, meals at school are their only dependable source of food. Food pantries ensure children and their families have food at home. Each year, A FULL SUMMER donates $2,000 to help sponsor for one year. These pantries are made possible for your generosity.
