KIDS HELPING KIDS 👧🏽🧒🏼⁣
⁣
Did you know we run facilitated food box packing sessions in schools? ⁣
⁣
Our Kids Helping Kids program brings food security education direct to school. Here’s how it works: your school holds a food drive, and then we come along and facilitate a hands-on packing session with the students.⁣
⁣
We sit down with the kids and talk about food security in a way that makes sense to them. We ask what they love to eat over the school holidays, for breakfast, lunch or snacks. And we help them understand that not every kid gets the same opportunities when it comes to food. For some families, the holidays mean extra pressure and extra hunger for kids. ⁣
⁣
Then we get packing. ⁣
⁣
The kids get to see the full journey of their donation, maybe from the supermarket shelf, into the trolley, through the school gate, and into one of our food boxes packed by their own hands, ready to go home with a family who needs it.⁣
⁣
Our goal isn’t just to fill as many boxes as possible. It’s to have quality conversations with the kids about food security and why helping people matters. We want this generation of kids to grow up knowing that community care starts young and that they have the power to make a real difference for someone their own age.⁣

Food is what goes into the boxes but it’s not the only thing being delivered.⁣
⁣
Before school holidays, these boxes become another way for schools to check in with families, offer support, strengthen connections and remind parents they’re not facing tough times alone.⁣
⁣
We’re incredibly grateful to every donor, volunteer, school partner and supporter who helps make this possible. Because of you, the impact reaches beyond the food itself, helping school holidays feel a little bit easier for families in need. ⁣

Every item on the shelves at represents a decision by someone in our community to let go of something they no longer needed, knowing it could become an opportunity for someone else.⁣
⁣
And thanks to every item sold throughout June, Second Chance Shop donated almost $650 to Pass the Snacks Geelong, helping us provide food to local kids, and the opportunity for them to enjoy their school holidays less hungry. ⁣
⁣
As if that wasn’t enough, a thoughtful community member also dropped off a whole tray of muesli bars to help fill our next snack boxes! ⁣
⁣
Small acts of community support are the foundation of our existence as a grassroots charity. Every single donation, no matter what size or form, leaves us in constant admiration for our Geelong community 🫶🏻⁣
⁣
To everyone who donated, shopped, volunteered or simply chose to support Second Chance Shop in June, thank you

Today is the start of a new school term for kids across Victoria. ⁣
⁣
For many families, there might be a sigh of relief as routines return and lunchboxes are packed again. ⁣
⁣
For many kids, it also means something else. Their school breakfast club is back. These programs provide a morning meal, a full tummy and a better start to the day for so many students, but isn’t available during the school holidays.⁣
⁣
Food insecurity doesn’t pause just because school does.⁣
⁣
That’s why Pass the Snacks exists. To help bridge that holiday gap with food boxes filled with snacks and meal staples, so kids who need it have something to reach for when school isn’t there to provide it.⁣
⁣
To every school that runs a breakfast club, every volunteer, every teacher, every donor and every supporter, thank you. Together, you’re helping ensure more kids can start the term with the energy to grow and learn.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, and gave from afar, for our Pass the Snacks Geelong Movie Night last Wednesday!🍿⁣
⁣
It was lovely to see lots of families and supporters come together for a night of laughter (the Minions certainly delivered!) while helping local kids experiencing food insecurity over the school holidays. ⁣
⁣
A special thank you to our sponsors, who each generously purchased a row of tickets to support the event. Thanks to your kindness, we were also able to include a number of these tickets as surprise giveaways in our food boxes for the kids. ⁣
⁣
Just through enjoying a movie together, we raised $695, which will go directly towards future Pass the Snacks Geelong food box deliveries for future school holidays.⁣
⁣
Thank you for supporting our work and helping ensure local kids have access to food when school is out.⁣

Pass the Snacks was founded on the idea that our community will ‘pass the snacks’ to kids in need during the school holidays, when the safety net of school food support disappears.

We extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the for helping us alleviate school holiday hunger across the Geelong region, through funding support towards our operational costs and systems uplift in the year ahead.

Thanks to this grant, we can continue and grow our supply of school holiday food boxes to kids who need them most. This support reflects the thoughtful decisions of many individuals, families and businesses who believe in the power of collective giving, and who have chosen to give together to local charities like Pass the Snacks Geelong.

To the community: thank you for investing towards a future where all kids in the Geelong region have access to nourishing food, all year round and not just during the school term.
