P.A.C.K provides over 1,500 microwavable lunch bags each year and busy bags for CURE for Childhood Cancer and for pediatric hospital inpatients. Children receiving cancer treatments and other medical treatments at local hospitals are often unable to leave the hospital for meals. We provide bags containing microwavable meals and snacks to help make their stay a little easier. Bags are also provided for siblings. "Busy bags" contain crafts, toys, games, and letters of encouragement.
For those children entering foster care, it can be a scary feeling. Thankfully, P.A.C.K. provides a personalized duffle bag for each child filled with under garments, outfits, shoes, personal toiletries, a blanket, and eveny a special note!

America's Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia
Hunger is a real issue in our nation, our state and in Coastal Georgia. There are more than 40 million people in the United States that struggle with food insecurity, 1.5 million in the state of Georgia and 175,540 right here in Coastal Georgia.
Established in 1981 in Savannah Georgia, America’s Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia is a locally inspired, volunteer-driven nonprofit food bank and community partnering organization. Second Harvest serves as the food safety net for tens of thousands of children, senior citizens, low-income families, and people with disabilities who are at risk for hunger throughout Coastal Georgia.
The organization works diligently to feed the hungry by distributing nutritious food to non-profit agencies and at-risk elderly and youth. Their programs include Brown Bag for the Elderly, Grace’s Kitchen, Kids Cafe, Mobile Food Pantry, and Partner Distribution. These programs are designed to provide hunger relief to those most vulnerable. Second Harvest partners with 298 faith-based and non-profit agencies to provide emergency food assistance across Coastal Georgia.
Last year, Second Harvest food bank provided more than 19.8 million meals (more than 25.5 million pounds of food) to hungry people in our area. Support from the community and collaboration with partners make it possible for us to reach many in need right here in our own community.
