About our program
There are disadvantaged children all around us that go hungry every day. We just don’t often hear about them. Are we completely unaware of the crisis? While subsidized school breakfast and lunch programs are in place during school hours, what happens at mealtime for these very same children evenings, weekends and over the summer months? kidsPACK strives to bridge that gap by simply taking action.
Randy Browning founded kidsPACK following a long history of charitable volunteer work with the Salvation Army, United Way and Project Care Outreach, as well as several other charitable organizations. The formation of kidsPACK was inspired after learning of the growing number of homeless children suffering in hunger and threatened by hopelessness in our neighborhoods today. For Browning, the heartfelt calling to help is simple — a solution to help children and the people in the community will come to the rescue. “I started kidsPACK for one reason – to feed kids. kidsPACK is the direction in my life and an answer to why I am here” stated Browning.
