Who We Are
The JETPACK Program provides weekend meal bags to K-12 students at 25 schools in Williamson and Maury County.
Each bag contains 5 small meals and 2 snacks that are easy for students to open and prepare. The bags are packed and delivered to the school by volunteers and distributed to students by school staff every Friday. The Well is currently serving Jetpacks to 980 students each week of the school year - that's thousands of meals to hungry kids!!
The JETPACK Program is supported by several area churches and local corporate sponsors, as well as individuals and families committed to ending child hunger in TN.
What We Do
When packing JETPACKS, you will fill drawstring bags with the food items on the current packing "menu" provided.
When packing the bags, please do so with care and intention. These bags will be received by students in need and we want them to feel loved and valued by the gift of these bags. Place heavier items on the bottom of the bag and more delicate, lighter items on top. Once the bags are packed, place them gently into banana boxes (6 in each box) and stack the boxes on a pallet in the jetpack room or elsewhere, off the floor.
When finished packing, please break down all cardboard and take it to the recycle dumpster located behind The Well. Please dispose of all plastic and paper trash in the trash bin. When the bin is full. please take the trash out to the trash dumpster located behind The Well. Please sweep the floor of the jetpack room and wipe all surfaces clean.
THANK YOU!!
