Snack Pak 4 Kids (SP4K) is a weekend backpack program that began serving children at Will Rogers Elementary on Labor Day Weekend, September 2010. A Bushland couple that discovered Amarillo was the largest city west of Dallas without a weekend backpack program started the program in their kitchen serving 10 kids. The program has grown to serve over 4,000 students in 24 school districts: Amarillo, Borger, Bushland, Canadian, Clarendon, Dalhart, Dimmitt, Dumas, Friona, Fritch, Happy, Hedley, Hereford, Highland Park, Lockney, Panhandle, Pampa, Perryton, River Road, Spearman, San Antonio, Stratford, Sunray, Tahoka, Tulia, White Deer, and Wildorado. Volunteers pack 10-12 nutritious snacks in plastic bags, deliver them to the school, and place them in backpacks to be discreetly sent home each Friday. The targeted students are those who live in food insecure homes as identified by the school staff (counselor, nurse, principal, and teachers). SP4K provides a bag for each elementary student (as well as any siblings at home not old enough to attend school).
