What HelpSnackz is about

WHAT IF DINNER ISN’T COMING?

Help improve a homeless student’s life.
In our own community, there are boys and girls who go to bed hungry every night. They have enough challenges going through the stresses of living on the streets. Being hungry just adds to their anxiety and stress.

Many homeless families cannot afford to provide their children with adequate meals. For many of these children, the only meals they obtain are through their school’s breakfast or lunch programs.

Homeless Engagement Lift Partnership is intervening to fill these hunger gaps with daily afternoon nutritional snack bags ( HelpSnackz ). We work with the school districts’ Homeless Liaison to identify which schools, and how many of these students need our support.

The most effective way to intersect with the homeless children and their families, is through the schools. We feel it is the most efficient way to reach the families. This program is a stepping stone in assisting the families to break the cycle of homelessness. It started with the Helpsnackz Program.
