About Us

Our Dedicated Volunteers

Volunteers from the local community, from young students to retirees, get together each week to pack snacks for students from Head Start to high school level. Each bag contains a minimum of eight snacks, including one lunch item.

Our history

The Potsdam Snack Pack Program was launched in November 2016 with a goal of providing healthy snacks to eligible school children on weekends and holidays. Potsdam was one of the few locales that did not have a "backpack" or "snack pack" program, even though more than 40% of the elementary school students were eligible for free or reduced lunch. We are an all-volunteer community organization so the funds raised are used to purchase food for the snack packs. The program currently serves more than 300 students each week from Head Start to high school level. (Thank you to Randy and Kim Sixberry, owners of Great Northern Printing in Potsdam, for designing and donating the T-shirts for our volunteers.)

Our mission

When students are hungry or worrying about their next meal it's more difficult for them to focus on learning. We want to ensure that no child goes hungry over the weekends, and that every child has the opportunity to be an active learner when she or he returns to school.
