Lets pack away childhood hunger one backpack at a time!

Aviva Insurance has set out a challenge: post a project on their site that gets the most votes and have your community effort funded. Alyse Schacter has an idea that would help fund a pilot project here in Ottawa. Snacks in Packs would discreetly distribute a backpack filled with nutritious, child-friendly and easy to prepare food to kids who need it before a weekend/holiday to ensure that the child is well-fed when the food bank and community pantries are closed.
