What is Summer Starfish? ![]()

During the school year, Starfish Packs are delivered directly to the students at their schools to bring home for the weekend. During the summer, the families pick up a bulked-up version of their typical school year Starfish Pack every two weeks from one of the 3 pickup locations.![]()

This year for the first time, families were able to select the items they prefer, rather than a pre-packed bag!![]()

Together, 382 children and their families have had access to healthy food options, including pantry items, milk, eggs, fresh produce, and bread.
