Who We Are

The mission and joy of Grace Packs Inc. is to provide weekly weekend food for students who lack an ample food supply, relieving the burden many of these children endure by being hungry. Our goal is to furnish breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack items at the end of each school week to students who may be suffering from food insecurity.  Grace Packs is recognized as a 501(c)3 Public Charity


As the 2011-2012 school opened, Lisa Ferrick and Laura Klosterman felt led to begin the Grace Packs program. Students were showing the “face of hunger” in various ways. Some visited the nurse’s office on Mondays complaining of stomach aches or headaches. Some students were hoarding or stealing food in the cafeteria, while others freely shared with staff members that they were hungry.    

What We Do

We stand by our motto, Grace Packs…Love Provides and are truly grateful for each and every person that makes it possible to achieve the mission of Grace Packs Inc. and provide weekly weekend food for students who lack an ample food supply, relieving the burden many of these children endure by being hungry. 


Heartfelt gratitude to Sunlight Community Church for the impact you have made upon hungry students across our area! Through your generosity in sharing pantry space with Grace Packs Inc since 2017, thousands of children have carried home food on Fridays.
