PACKS of Plenty

PACKS of Plenty PACKS of Plenty provides free food to Ritchie County students over long school breaks or on weekends. Kids are our future & you can help theirs!

~ PACKS of PLENTY ~
Dedicated to the Cause of Taking Care of One Another
Feeding the Future of Ritchie County WV

When we think of hungry children, we think of developing nations... not of the kids in our backyard. It can be hard to imagine those problems exist here – in our community... but they do. Packs of Plenty helps prevent hunger. The program was designed to step-up where federal aid stops

by feeding children during the holiday breaks in Ritchie County. It is our HOPE that this program will grow into an every weekend opportunity for those in need. Children receive packs filled with kid-friendly, ready-to-eat items to cover the meals they won't receive on days when school is not in session. We rely on private donors like you. 100% of donor proceeds go to feeding children in our backyard. DONATIONS of ALL SIZES are welcome... Pennies Make Dollars & Dollars Make a Difference! Contact Gail Holleron @ 304.628.3251 for more information. ONCE A VISION...
