Mission of the Month: Frisco Fastpacs

by Tracy Hookstra | September 13, 2016

It’s time for our September Mission of the Month!  This month, we are collecting items for Frisco Fastpacs, a 501(c)3 that exists to ensure that no child in Frisco goes hungry when school is not in session.  Fastpacs delivers individual pre-packed bags to FISD schools that include enough food for 7 meals for each qualifying child for them to eat over the weekend at home.  To date, Fastpacs are delivering to 35 Frisco ISD schools and feeding close to 700 children.   If you would like to view their website, go to www.friscofastpacs.org.   Their current, specific needs are listed below:

• 15 oz. canned fruit or veggies.
• Canned meats (chicken, tuna, chili, sausages).
• Full-size canned pasta and sauce (ravioli, spaghetti, etc.)
• Individual pasta meals (Easy-Mac, Ramen, etc.)
• Granola bars – (No nuts, please)
• Individual oatmeal packets
• Individual desserts (Rise Krispy treats, cookies, gummies, etc.)
• Individual snacks (Cheese-its, crackers, pretzels, raisins, etc.) – No nuts, please)

Please deliver donations by Friday, September 23, either to my house (2129 Sutton Place, Plano  75093) or to my Keller Williams office (4783 Preston Road, Frisco 75034).  At the office, please knock on our doors at the back of the building under the middle covered entry (left or middle door).

***Please note, many people have shipped items via Amazon.com or other items to make contributing more convenient. If you choose to ship donations, we request that you ship your items to my office:
