Our Feed Kids Right Now backpack program feeds more than 800 children in 39 schools across Central Texas EVERY WEEK!
Each child receives a backpack filled with 5 meals plus snacks to eat throughout the weekend.
Last year, we provided nearly 120,000 meals to families in Central Texas through our Feed Kids Right Now backpack programs. We want to increase that by 25% or more this year.
Child nutrition is not just a problem in developing nations. Texas is the state with the second highest rate of residents facing hunger with more than 1.3 million of those residents being children. 60.6% of all school-aged children are classified as economically disadvantaged in Texas.
Our food security programs fill food gaps for children over weekends and school breaks, a time when children may not have access to food or enough food.
Ancora is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are considered charitable contributions and 100% tax-deductible.
We serve a total of 39 schools across 4 school districts in Central Texas. As we have grown, we realized the need to have 1 name for all of our programs, instead of having a program name for each school district we serve. Feed Kids Right Now is now the umbrella that ALL of our backpack programs fall under.
The biggest program under the Feed Kids Right Now umbrella gets its own brand name. HaysHope2Go serves 24 schools in the Hays Consolidated Independent School District.
DWH, which serves all of the schools in the Dripping Springs Independent School District, also has its own brand name under the Feed Kids Right Now umbrella.
Providing proper footwear to middle school athletes who might otherwise not be able to participate.
Food programs that help fill food gaps, not only reduce child hunger but actually improve school attendance and academic performance.
FEED KIDS RIGHT NOW!
All of this has been made possible with the help of our volunteers and donors, who have donated hours of their time and money to feed the kids in Central Texas.
Our team spends over 60+ hours a month meal prepping and delivering backpacks and relies heavily on donations from our community to supply as many meals as we can.
Our Goal is to Provide 150,000 Meals This Year and Need Your Help!
