About this Fundraiser
100 sheep. Only 99 return home. Jesus cares for the ONE %. He commands us to do the same.
ONE out of four Northwest Arkansas children face the physical, emotional and behavioral challenges related to hunger and food insecurity. Samaritan Community Center, in partnership with 150 schools and early education centers in Benton, Carroll, Madison and Washington Counties, serves these at-risk children through our SnackPacks for Kids program which provides weekly nutritional support to over 8000 children ranging from Head Start to high school.
These faces represent the SnackPacks for Kids' ONE %. Will you join us in caring for the ONE %?
*These pictures are merely a representation of 1% of the over 8000 children served by the Samaritan Community Center. Specific children shown in this photos may not be the recipients of SnackPacks funded through the ONE % Project as this is not a direct sponsorship opportunity.
The ONE % Project aims to engage the community of Northwest Arkansas in caring for the ONE %. Caring for the ONE % means 80 children are able to face Fridays free of hunger anxiety, no longer worried if there is enough food at home to stretch until their next healthy meal at school. Together we will provide ONE school year of SnackPacks for the ONE %.
ABOUT SNACKPACKS FOR KIDS
SnackPacks include 8-10 healthy snack food items, most of which are easy to open and require little to no preparation prior to consumption.
The SnackPacks for Kids program stands in the gap for families living in poverty by eliminating the need to trade one necessity for another: nutritious food for rent, utilities, transportation and healthcare. Research confirms that proper nutritional support is important to allow the brain to function at its highest ability and to enhance learning. Without an adequate daily intake of nutrients from food, the body puts learning on a lower shelf below its need to sustain life-support functions. Access to preventive programs such as SnackPacks for Kids increases the probability that children will have higher self-esteem, a positive education experience, be more likely to continue their education, and end the cycle of hunger.
