Our Mission
To fuel teens with nutritious, shelf-stable afternoon snacks—supporting their growth, focus, and active lifestyles as they work toward their full potential.
“It’s easy to take for granted grabbing a protein bar before practice—when for a lot of teens, that’s actually a luxury.”
What We Do
Raise funds to purchase non-perishable snacks and drinks that support teens’ growth and nutritional needs
Collect nutritious snack donations from the community
Recruit and organize volunteers for monthly community packing events
Pack five non-perishable snacks, a protein beverage, and a bottle of water into simple paper bags
Partner with local food pantries and schools to distribute snack bags to teens experiencing food insecurity. Our current partners include Person to Person, which distributes our bags to local families, and Stamford High School, which provides them directly through its newly established, confidential school food pantry.
Work toward weekly snack access, with the long-term goal of ensuring that local teens facing food insecurity have reliable access to nutritious snacks throughout the week.
Why Teenagers?.
As teens ourselves, we know how demanding school, sports, and busy schedules can be. Teens are growing fast and often face the biggest after-school food gaps, yet they’re frequently overlooked by nutrition programs. By focusing on this age group, we’re helping provide the fuel teens need to stay energized, focused, and confident as they grow
