Snack Pak working for the weekend
Silver Valley nonprofits keeps kids fed
The assembly line of volunteers worked like a well-oiled machine, collecting two breakfast items, two main meals to go, and some fruit and other snacks before depositing tied plastic bags at the end of the line. Silver Valley Snack Pak has been around for about six years, helping schoolchildren get enough food to make it through the weekend in Shoshone County when money is tight for families at home.
