DID YOU KNOW HUNGRY CHILDREN EXPERIENCE...

Poorer overall health and compromised ability to resist illness
Higher levels of aggression, hyperactivity, and anxiety
Impaired cognitive functioning and diminished capacity to learn Lower test scores and poorer overall achievement
Increased school absences, tardiness, and suspensions?

6,700 children in Scottsdale schools qualified for the national school lunch program, receiving free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch, in 2014-15.

More than 70% of the students in six Scottsdale schools qualify for the national school lunch program. Some of these children do not have enough to eat on weekends when school meals are not available. Healthy Packs helps fill in the gaps.

HOW HEALTHY PACKS WORKS

On Fridays during the school year, school children with limited access to food on weekends receive packs filled with easy-to-prepare, nutritious meals and snacks.
Healthy Packs is sustained in partnership with Concerned Citizens for Community Health, Scottsdale' s Vista del Camino, Scottsdale Unified School District, and local business, civic, parent, faith-based, and leadership organizations.
Healthy Packs is funded through Concerned Citizens for Community Health (CCCH), a volunteer, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
100% of your donation is used to feed hungry children.
