Frequently asked questions.

What is the mission of Tri-Village Packers?

The main goal of Tri-Village Packers is to provide food for hungry children and residents in the Tri-Village area. We focus on two main programs:

  • Grab & Go Snacks – Available at local schools to make sure children don’t go hungry during the day.

  • Holiday Meal Packs – A week’s worth of breakfast and lunch meals distributed during school holiday breaks (Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring).

Do you only serve children?

At this time, yes. While our primary focus is providing food to children in the Tri-Village area, we also look for opportunities to support other community members experiencing food insecurity.
