Power Packs Project

Power Packs Project is a nonprofit organization in Lancaster, Lebanon, and York counties dedicated to ending hunger in our local schools over the weekend, when free school breakfasts and lunches aren’t available. 

Every week, our participants receive a Power Pack - a fresh recipe, all the ingredients to make that meal, pantry staples like cereal or peanut butter, and local fresh items like milk and produce.

Our Mission Statement: We empower families with education and ingredients to create nutritious weekend meals, so their children return to school fed and ready to learn.

Our Impact:

Power Packs provided more than 519,437 meals in the previous school year and summer programs. We’re on track to beat that number this year.

Over 5,975 volunteer hours went into helping us meet our mission. From working in the office on admin projects, to packing and delivering boxes, we can’t do it without our amazing volunteers!

During previous school year + summer programs, we have served over 58,000 children right in our backyard!

Power Packs provides long-term solutions to end childhood hunger.

Hear from some of the families that we have empowered:

A Mom in the School District of Lancaster: 

“Power Packs means to me and my girls a life link. It provides us with food. But it’s more than food, it’s knowing that someone cares for you and understands what you and your family are going through. We cook the meal together and we sit down and talk."

A Mom in the Manheim Township School District:

"Power Packs means my family gets quality, warm meals we can cook together! In times like these, I am so grateful to have Power Packs Project for the nutrition and the intentional time with my family."
