WHAT NONPROFITS ARE SAYING
“The CitySquare Food Pantry distributes more than two million pounds of nutritious food to families in need every year. Thanks in part to The Pack Shack’s collaboration with CitySquare, we are battling food insecurity in Dallas more effectively than ever. Their organization empowers local organizations to produce healthy products on a mass scale while building a sense of community through service, advocacy and friendship. This is at the core of CitySquare’s mission and we’re grateful for The Pack Shack’s partnership in keeping our neighbors fed and our community strong.” – CitySquare, Dallas TX
“The Pack Shack has been a great partner “in doing good together” over the years. We primarily distribute the Cheesy Rice & Vegetable meals in rural communities in the US. It is a big hit in feeding programs, backpack initiatives and groceries going to families in need. The meals are convenient, tasty and healthy. Many of the groups we distribute through consistently request them.” – Convoy of Hope, Springfield MO
