Our Mission

To deliver nutritious, accessible snack packs to families with children experiencing food insecurity — restoring dignity, connection, and hope through an innovative, scalable community model.

A New Model for Access

The Sharing Snack is not a traditional food program. It is a duel-model innovation: public-facing vending machines supported by a prepaid access system, designed to eliminate barriers, remove stigma, and activate community ecosystems in real time.

Vision for the Future

A future where no child experiences food insecurity — where access is simple, dignified, joyful, and integrated seamlessly into community life.

HOW IT WORKS

At The Sharing Snack, we understand that access to nutritious snacks is vital for children and families, especially during after-school hours, weekends, holidays, and summer breaks. That’s why our vending machines are strategically placed throughout the communities we serve, providing a convenient and reliable source of healthy snacks whenever they are needed.

Our Unique Distribution Model

Our innovative distribution model sets us apart. By utilizing vending machines, we can ensure that nutritious snacks are accessible to children and families without the constraints of traditional food banks or distribution centers. This means:

  • Convenience: Families can access our vending machines at their convenience, eliminating the need to work around limited food bank hours that often don’t fit busy schedules.

  • Wider Reach: Our multiple locations make it easier for families who may not have access to reliable or frequent transportation, allowing them to quickly grab a snack without the added stress of travel.

  • Reduced Administrative Costs: By operating vending machines, we minimize the administrative burden typically associated with donations and fundraising efforts tied to food banks. This means more of your contributions go directly to providing snacks for children in need.

  • Consistency: With our vending machines, families can count on a consistent supply of snacks, ensuring that children have access to healthy options whenever they need them, without relying on volunteers or limited operational hours.

Together, we are making a meaningful impact by providing convenient access to nutritious snacks for children and families in our communities.
