Snack in a Pack
SIAP
ย 
Snack in a Pack (SIAP)ย provides supplemental food packs over weekends and holiday breaks for students who may otherwise go hungry while not in school. Snack in a Pack is managed by the Waynesville AmeriCorps VISTA program.ย 
ย 
SIAP provides weekly meals for approximately 325 students within the Waynesville R-VI School District. SIAP is a 100% donation-driven program that relies on the generosity of its partners, donors, and the multitude of community volunteers to continue its mission to feed hungry children and improve educational success.
ย 
The cost to supportย each student receiving a pack is approximately $200 for the school year. With the current number of student recipients, the total cost to feed all of them is approximately $65,000 each year.ย Snack in a Pack is always in need of donations (monetaryย or in-kind)ย and the help of volunteersย interested in supporting the program.ย
