Food 4 Kids

This program addresses weekend hunger in children who are identified as “under-nourished”. The idea is to provide non-refrigerated, individual serving sized, nutritional snacks that children can open and eat. No can opener, microwave or stove needed. Some of these children are left to fend for themselves on the weekend while parents work.

Help Nourish a Child

Does your church, organization, or family want to make a difference in the life of a child? One of our most basic needs is food and as difficult as it is to imagine, many of our neighbors, including children, are undernourished right here in Gillespie County. You can help change this!


Below is a list of food items needed:

• Tuna Kits*
• Beanie Wienies*
• Trail Mix/Nuts
• Applesauce
• Peanut Butter (Individual servings)
• Protein Bars
• Breakfast Bars/Granola Bars
• Beef jerky/meat sticks
• Fruit Cups
• 100% Juice Boxes
• Crackers with cheese or peanut butter
• GoGo Squeez Yogurtz

The students at FPS are very thankful each week when they receive their food. When the students get their bag, they aren’t only nourished, they feel cared for in an emotional way.

I just wanted to pop in and say thank you. My children get snacks through your [Food-4-Kids] program. My daughter loves the jerky and meat sticks and my son loves the pudding cups and juices boxes. So again, thank you so much for including them and please pass on our appreciation to those who donate. Hopefully in the near future we can be on that side of things and give back.

Our Services

Crisis Assistance

Assistance is provided for housing, utilities, child care, medications, emergency medical procedures, dental, hearing and vision expenses.

Counseling & Domestic violence support

Victims of physical, emotional and sexual abuse receive critical counseling by licensed professionals. As they get their lives back on track, clients are also provided budgeting, goal-setting and financial planning assistance.

Senior Services

Needs Council volunteers provide “friendly support” to homebound seniors and rides to medical appointments since many have no family nearby. Community members adopt and provide gifts to these seniors and disabled adults at Christmas.

Child & Family Services

Children and their families are provided assistance with coats, school supplies, food, childcare, scholarships, parenting classes and Christmas assistance with the help of many community volunteers.
