Off Site Sack Supper Packing
For thousands of children in West Michigan, a Sack Supper (healthy evening meal) ensures they have increased access to healthy food each day! You can help us supply the contents of these meals by creating “Supper Packs” from the comfort of your own space.
Supper Packs account for the non-perishable items that are put into each Sack Supper.
Supper Pack Supply List:
To ensure each child is receiving the same meal, we ask for no substitutions to the food items on the Supper Pack supply list.
- Pudding Cup
- Fruit Cup or Pouch (no foil tops please)
- Pretzel, Cheez-it or Goldfish bag (1.5 oz. or smaller)
- Meat sticks – either TWO 0.28 oz sticks or ONE 0.5 oz. stick
- Quart Size Bag – Please use quart size zipper lock bags as Supper Packs will be packaged into the Sack Suppers.
Assembly:
Place one of each item in a quart size bag and seal tight. Each Supper Pack is fully complete once it contains all four non-perishable items. There is no minimum or maximum quantity that we ask for. You can make as many Supper Packs as you’d like!
If you have remaining non-perishable items after your Supper Pack project is complete, you may donate the rest of the items as they are packaged. This will ensure that each child receives an equally portioned Sack Supper.
