It’s hard to learn when you’re hungry. More than 60% of elementary students enrolled in Joplin Schools qualify for free or reduced lunch. Many of our students get two meals a day at school but may go hungry over the weekend and come to school unable to focus on Mondays. Funds donated to the Snackpack program help to provide nutritious, child-friendly food for the weekend to our most at-risk children. Snack Packs are assembled by teams of volunteers each week and sent home with qualifying students every Friday.
