We Are SNACC
About SNACC:
SNACC is an in-school and after-school, food education program that promotes youth development and food education in underserved communities.
Our SNACC In-School program brings dynamic food education and culinary skills directly to the classroom, engaging students with hands-on cooking experiences and nutrition knowledge.
In our after-school program, we provide access to food via grocery drop-offs and weekly cooking classes led by professional chefs.
While promoting confidence, education and self-sufficiency among high-need youth, our students develop both hard and soft skills, becoming empowered to contribute to their households and communities.
