Power Up Packs

Power Up Packs This page is to communicate with our community the needs and the triumphs of Power Up Packs. Power Up Packs feeds local children on the weekends.

Power Up started in November of 2013 with eight kids from one Portage Elementary School. We have grown tremendously and God has blessed our efforts every step of the way. We are currently serving over 360 students in ten Portage Public Schools. We send home kid friendly meals in backpacks on the weekends for kids who struggle to have enough to eat when they are not at school.

Thank you to Pack 235 for packing tonight and for the donations.

There are only 3 packing dates left this year with Power Up Packs, and we’d love to have you join us!
🕡 We start at 6:30 PM
📍 Kasten Building (near Centre & Portage Rd)
⏱ It takes about 40 minutes
In just that short time, we can help provide food for 480 children in our community. It’s such an easy way to make a big impact.
Children in 3rd grade and up are welcome to come pack too, which makes this a great opportunity for families, teams, or groups to serve together.
If you’ve been thinking about getting involved, this is a great time to jump in.

Power Up is looking for community groups to help with packing nights!
Each week we pack weekend food bags for local students who may not have enough food at home when school isn’t in session. It’s a simple but meaningful way to make a real impact in our community.
We’re looking for groups to help pack, such as:
• Sports teams
• Scout troops
• Youth groups
• School clubs
• Service organizations
• Families who want to volunteer together
Packing happens Wednesday evenings at 6:30 PM and usually takes about 40 minutes.
A couple quick guidelines:
• Volunteers should be in 3rd grade or older
• Groups should be around 15–20 people
It’s a great opportunity for teams and groups that need service hours or want to give back together.
If your group is interested, comment or message me and I’ll share the details and sign-up link. Thank you for helping support local kids! 💙

We need a few more helping hands for Power Up!
Each week we pack weekend food bags for local students who may not have enough to eat when they’re not in school. It’s a small time commitment that makes a big difference.
We pack Wednesdays at 6:30 PM, and it usually takes about 40 minutes. It’s quick, easy, and a great way to give back to our community.
If you’re able to help, I’d love to have you join us. I’ll put the sign-up link in the comments. Thank you for supporting our local kids! 💙
