🎺 5,000 snacks was just the beginning…

Because of this incredible community, the Carroll Charger Pride Band Camp Snack Drive has REACHED OUR GOAL! 🎉 We are so grateful for every donation, every share, and every person who has helped make this possible.

But here’s the exciting part…

What if we didn’t stop at 5,000?

The Charge Up! Snack Program is launching in two elementary schools this year, but we know food insecurity doesn’t stop at those buildings. Teachers across all of Northwest Allen County Schools are quietly keeping snacks in their classrooms because they know hungry students struggle to learn.

Every donation beyond our original goal brings us one step closer to expanding this program to even more elementary schools this year.

Imagine the impact if every student who needed a snack could count on one being there—without a teacher having to pay for it out of their own pocket.

Thank you for believing in this mission and helping us remove barriers to learning. Together, we’re making sure more students have consistent access to the food they need to focus, participate, and succeed.

Let’s see just how far this community can take us. 💙💛

Collection will continue through Thursday during camp as well as online anytime. Final numbers will be announced soon!!

🎺💙💛 97% of the Way There! 💙💛🎺

The Carroll Charger Pride is just 159 snack servings away from our goal!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our band families, friends, and community supporters, we've collected 4,841 of our 5,000-serving goal, enough to provide an entire month of snacks for NACS elementary students experiencing food insecurity.

This project has shown what can happen when our Charger community comes together to support students beyond the classroom.
Let's finish strong!

📦 Snack donations are still being accepted in the band garage through July 30.

Thank you for helping us Charge Up students across NACS!
