Pack the Park Benefiting KidsPack

The Flying Tigers and KidsPack will be collecting non perishable food and donations to support KidsPack. KidsPack raises food and money to supply Kidspacks to students in Polk County that do not know where their next meal will come from, as well as to those kids that are homeless and without proper nutrition. The schools in the area identify these kids, who remain nameless to KidsPack, then in turn they get the packs to the schools on Friday's so the child has food to last them over the weekend when school meals are not accessible. There are thousands of kids here locally that are in need. Our goal for "Pack the Park" is to raise $50,000 or 36,000 lbs of food. 100% of all food and money raised goes directly to the cause.
