Every day, thousands of students in our community walk into school carrying more than backpacks, they carry the weight of hunger. For kids who rely on free or reduced lunch, the hours between breakfast and dinner can feel impossibly long. That’s where Power Snacks comes in.
Power Snacks is the flagship program of Helping Hands for Little Hearts, created to make sure no child has to face the school day hungry. Each month, we provide schools with individually packaged, high-protein snacks that counselors, teachers, and staff can give directly to students who need them most. These snacks aren’t just a quick bite, they’re fuel for focus, confidence, and growth.
Because of Power Snacks, students don’t have to choose between learning and hunger. They can show up in the classroom ready to concentrate, participate, and thrive.
Last year alone, Power Snacks reached more than 6,500 students across 29 schools. This year, with your support, we aim to reach even more. Your donation on North Texas Giving Day helps us stock the shelves, fill the delivery boxes, and place snacks into the hands of students who need them.
A snack may seem small, but it can change the course of a child’s day. Together, we can make sure every student has the chance to succeed.
To help those families in need of support, whether it be financially or emotionally, who are experiencing hardships by unforeseen circumstances. Abuse, disabilities, sudden death of a family member, or a cancer diagnosis. These families need help and we want to be able to provide that for them.
