"Snack Pak 4 Kids served more than 6,000 students each week during the school year. Every year we survey our kids and teachers to see what we’re doing right and what we can improve upon. More than 83% of our survey respondents indicated they need a Snack Pak over the summer – so we will be there." said SP4K Executive Director, Dyron Howell.

Snack Pak 4 Kids has provided weekend food for children in the Amarillo area for nearly 13 years, and has grown to include more than 60 communities around the Texas Panhandle. Their Snack Shak program serves high school students. The Nutrition 4 Change program serves organizations and companies who provide food programs for their clients, employees and patients. The newest SP4K program is The Tillie Project, designed to provide food resources for grandparents raising their grandchildren.
