Free groceries for kids over the summer!
SNACK! (Summer Nutritional Assistance for Chatham Kids) provides each participating child with free groceries for 21 meals each week from mid-June through mid-August.
Groceries include fruits, vegetables, milk, protein, cereal, beans, grains, and snacks.
Families can enroll their children and pick up food from their choice of distribution sites located throughout the county. Food pick-up happens every two weeks, and will include two weeks’ worth of groceries at each pick-up.

Support the SNACK! Program:
1 in 7 children in Chatham County face food insecurity. Summers are especially difficult for many families who rely on school-provided lunches during the school year. You can sponsor a child to receive nutritious foods this summer for $20 for a week or $200 for the summer.
For more information about sponsoring a child to receive SNACK!, contact Rebecca Hankins at 919-542-5020 or [email protected].
