About A FULL SUMMER Snack Pack
In 2023, 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. This year, we exceeded that with over 9,000 snacks packed and distributed!
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 was $40,000. As of July 1st, we have raised $41,099.34! The initial amount was budgeted to cover our Snack Pack, helping to sponsor 9 school food pantries, and to underwrite the Hope 24/7 monitoring fee. Our hearts are filled with gratitude that we have exceeded our goal and continue to raise even more funds to help support children and families via Leon County School Pantries!
And we appreciate donations of any amount!
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.
