Kids Against Hunger - Highlands County

It’s been a while since I’ve shared our numbers in a FB post. We are a 501c3 non-profit and that requires that we keep meticulous records.

For the 2025-26 school year we packed and donated 4,517 Friday Kid’s Paks to feed local children, which is a total of 13,500 lbs of food!

Since we opened our doors in Highlands County: we’ve packed and donated 27,816 Friday Kid’s Paks, which totaled 84,322 lbs of food!

But God! That’s the only way we can explain it. He continues to provide donations and He continues to send us volunteers.

We thank God for this ministry and the privilege to serve. We thank all of the volunteers that work alongside us to make sure food insecure children are fed. We feel very BLESSED. 💕

I’m a little delayed on posting this.

A big Thank You to “David Baker and team” as they are always asking how they can help us. So this past week they helped us package 2,538 Kids Against Hunger Meals! We enjoy their banter, competitive spirit and team camaraderie - makes for an enjoyable time.

We always enjoy spending time with student leaders involved with the Mason G Smoak Foundation. On Saturday afternoon - they chose to spend time in our warehouse helping us sort and organize food donations. It’s amazing how much they were able to accomplish! Youth Leaders - Thank you so much for choosing to spend an afternoon helping us!

Denyelle and friends sponsored and packed 3,432 Fiesta Rice Meals! It was nice to see some familiar faces and meet a few new ones too! Thanks for your heart to feed hungry children in our county! We appreciate you!
