Power Packs Project for Carter and MacRae
For families facing food insecurity
Each school year, as part of our ongoing commitment to Carter and MacRae Elementary School, Saint James helps with the Power Packs Project so that children return to school Monday morning well-fed and ready to learn.
Based in Lancaster County, the Power Packs Project seeks to improve the mental and physical health of participating families by helping parents provide nutritious meals over the weekend when the school breakfast and lunch programs are unavailable. Each week a recipe for a low-cost meal and the ingredients to make it are provided, in addition to staples like peanut butter and cereal.
