Food for Others Power Pack Program (P3) sends weekend backpack meals home with students who do not get enough food on the weekends without their school-provided meals. The students tend to be on the free and reduced meals program during the week and have limited access to food over the weekend.

The Power Pack Program provides weekend meals to roughly 3,800 students at 44 Fairfax County schools each week during the school year. The weekend meal pack, which contains two items each for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus two snacks and two drinks, helps alleviate a child’s hunger and allows them to come to school on Monday morning fed, focused, and ready to learn.

Vienna specific schools who benefit include Fairhill ES, Freedom Hill ES, Louise Archer ES, Shrevewood ES, and Thoreau MS.
