Lovepacs Plano is a nonprofit organization that helps feed hungry students during school breaks. For many local kids, an extended week of spring break means another week without the free and reduced school meals their families depend on.

While Plano ISD students are on extended spring break through March 20 due to Covid-19 safety measures, Lovepacs Plano is working diligently with Plano ISD schools to get much needed food to needy kids and their families.

How you can help:

Lovepacs’ current most-needed items are:

Canned soup
Canned pasta
Canned meat
Boxed macaroni and cheese
Ramen noodles
Oatmeal packets
Granola bars
