Tiger Packs

Tiger Packs provides a take home bag of kid-friendly, nutritious food to pre-K through 8th grade Grinnell-Newburg students on the weekends.

A partner program of the Claude W. and Dolly Ahrens Foundation.

Last year, 38% of Grinnell-Newburg students qualified for free or reduced lunch. That's a lot of kids in our own community who could use a little extra support on the weekends. 🐯
Tiger Packs packs ~240 bags every week at just $4.10 each — small cost, big impact.

This August, our Annual Appeal letter has landed in mailboxes and inboxes. We hope you'll help us keep every pack full. 💛📦

Did you know it costs $4.10 to pack one Tiger Pack for one student? 🐯📦

That small amount means a full weekend of meals for a kid who might otherwise go without. Multiply that by the ~240 packages we send home every single week, and you can see why your support matters so much.

Our Annual Appeal is happening now! We hope you'll consider joining us. 💛

Behind every Tiger Pack is a team of amazing volunteers!

🧡 It takes a village—and a Tiger Pack—to combat youth hunger in our community. 🐅
Did you know that roughly 35% of students in the Grinnell-Newburg School District qualify for free or reduced-price meals? While school is out for the summer, our mission to keep Grinnell’s kids nourished never stops.

Tiger Packs works hard to support our local youth: 🎒 Providing kid-friendly, nutritious weekend food bags to PreK-8th grade students. 🍏 Supplying fresh fruit weekly to our Middle and High School students. 🛒 Supporting the Grinnell High School Food Market with easy takeaway meals and pantry staples.

Every dollar donated goes directly toward purchasing food and fresh produce to ensure no child goes hungry. Help us prep for a strong upcoming school year and keep our community supported.
