Manna Food Center- Smart Sacks
The Karen Goldberg Smart Sacks program started in 2005, when Manna partnered with Sodexo, Whole Foods Market and the Montgomery County Public School system to create a program unlike any other in the county.More than 35% of public school students are eligible for free or reduced meals during the school week. Smart Sacks bridges the gap between Friday and Monday, providing nutritious foods for children and their families who might not have another meal until after the weekend.Today, our program operates in 57 elementary schools and feeds over 2,850 children each week. More than 50 business and community organizations collaborate on behalf of this inspiring program.Participating students enjoy a nutritious menu, including whole grains, low sodium canned vegetables, lean proteins and healthier snack items. Use of the ingredients provided and sustained healthy eating is encouraged through educational materials included in the Smart Sacks bags throughout the school year.
