FOCP fulfills this mission primarily through the work of the BackPack Food Program (serving elementary students), Power Pack Program (serving middle school students), Summer Pack Program (serving K-12 students) and onsite food pantries for High School students. These programs provide youth hunger relief on weekends and school breaks. Collectively, FOCP programs serve over 1,000 students each week at 35 school buildings within 6 school districts and 13 communities in the greater Mankato Area. Last school year, FOCP provided 189,946 meals to food-insecure students in south central MN

Program 2

Expenses: $174,092

FOCP's hunger-relief programs serve students in grades K-12 who live in food-insecure households by providing child-friendly and nutritious food items to be consumed each day of the weekend, school break and summer months.Food items include breakfast, lunch, and snacks for each day of the break. During the school year, the food packs are assembled by volunteers, transported to schools, and distributed to teachers who discreetly place them in the backpacks or lockers of enrolled children. During the summer months and over the extended winter break, boxes of food are delivered directly to the doorsteps of enrolled youth with the help of volunteers.
