Bounce for a Cause - Support Pantry Packs

Mark your calendar for April 23. We'll see you at Kidz Bounce!

April 9, 2015
Macaroni Kid Snoqualmie Valley & Issaquah along with the Parker Family's Our Year Of Giving project are joining forces to bring the community a fun event benefiting a great local organization!

You're invited to BOUNCE FOR A CAUSE at Kidz Bounce in support of Pantry Packs.

Pantry Packs is a local nonprofit organization that helps feed hungry kids. They provide a backpack program through several local schools. Each week the packs are filled with kid-friendly food and they are distributed to the kids for the weekend. "Each weekly pack includes enough food for 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, 1 dinner, many snacks, bread, and produce (when available)."  Pantry Packs is currently serving almost 500 students, from preschool through high school, in 30 schools each week.
