Mighty Active Pack Club
Providing Ross County school children with nutritious, easy-to-prepare, shelf-stable food on weekends.
The Mighty Active Pack (M.A.P.) Club is a program that provides shelf-stable food for children, in food-insecure homes throughout Ross County school districts. Students are provided with food bags distributed each week throughout the school year. These bags usually contain peanut butter, boxed macaroni and cheese, canned vegetables and fruit, canned soups, canned pasta, crackers, prepackaged snacks, and a full-sized box of cereal. Packs may also contain bread, fresh produce, and other items when available.
The United Way of Ross County and the Ross County Hunger Coalition partner with the Mid-Ohio Food Bank to help these children receive nutritious and easy-to-prepare weekend food. Free and reduced-priced lunch and breakfast programs create a regular source of food for school age children, but these vital programs do not extend into the weekends. We strive to help fill the weekend's food gap.
