Fighting Hunger in Riverside County
Snack Attack delivers bags of healthy snacks to local schools every Friday during the school year.
The bags are given by the schools to children who are homeless or from low income backgrounds.
As the schools have rebounded from COVID 19 challenges so has our Snack Attack program. We currently are serving 14 schools and a community preschool center. The needs are great to help fight hunger in our community and Assistance League® of Riverside is working every day to meet this challenge.
We started the school year delivering approximately 860 bags per week but as needs grew that number was increased to 913 bags per week. In the 2023-2024 school year, we provided more than 32,000 Snack Bags to children in need, and anticipate even more for this year!
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
“In addition to the snack bags, my students who participate in the program also receive books during the school year. I wish everyone could see the look of delight on my kindergartners faces when they are handed a book and they realize it is theirs to keep.”

“I would like to thank you for providing two of my students with weekly weekend snacks. The thought that my kids and their families are hungry breaks my heart.”
